Feasibility of implementing an automated forecasting system to control potato late blight in Southern Chile

  An analysis of the potato yield from experimental plots established in the 2004-2005 season in potato growing areas of the IX and X region was carried out, with 4 phytosanitary treatments compared in each experimental site. An automated alarm system to detect potato late blight disease was analyzed, from climatic data compiled and later processed through the ISO 9000 Standard. The financial economical analysis that was conducted included estimations of the following indices: Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and break-even point. The system appears to be a viable alternative, with values of $1 and 12% for NPV and IRR, respectively.

Se analizó el funcionamiento del sistema de alarma del tizón tardío de la papa, desde la recopilación de datos climáticos hasta su posterior procesamiento a través de la Normativa ISO 9000. El análisis económico financiero se basó en el cálculo de los indicadores: valor actual de los beneficios netos (VABN), tasa interna de retorno (TIR) y punto de equilibrio. Los resultados obtenidos permiten señalar que el proyecto desarrollado representa una alternativa viable, obteniendo valores de $1 y 12% de VABN y TIR respectivamente.   Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias.
