| Abstract: |
This layer shows the location of 330 sites where biological control agents (bio agents) were released during the 1999/2000 operational year for the purpose of plant pest control (details of Subsequent years will be published when available.) |

| Statement: |
Data from the BIS datadase
A bio agent is a living organism that is used to control another. The purpose of a bio agent is to control pests using either of two types, classical (usually insects and fungi) or inundative (pathogens used to create artificial epidemics). Waikato Regional Council is principally concerned with classical biological control. The location of sites for bio agents is based on their suitability to host the particular biological control agent.

| Abstract: |
Location of 330 sites where biological control agents were released during the 1999/2000 operational year for the purpose of plant pest control. |
|---|
| Statement: |
This layer is considered complete. Geographic extent is dispersied throughout most of the Waikato Region. The data set was developed in 2000. While no subsequent data sets have been created this data set was considered to be of high enough historical value to be included in the Key_GIS_Layers. Similar data sets may be developed in the future.
The data set is a one off layer from the 99/00 operational year. No further bio agent release sites have since been mapped and it is recommended that this process should again resume. The layer has had the co-ordinates of the points validated. While the positional accuracy can be questionable for this data, the geometry is considered sound.
The data can be provided in hard or soft copies of customised GIS map outputs at a range of scales. Can be found in an access warehouse called Key_GIS_Layers in R:\BIOSEC\Key_GIS_Layers |
|---|
| Other Information: |
The bio agents were digitised according to points supplied by GPS or on 1:50000 topographic maps (topomaps). Thus the positional accuracy of the boundaries is dependent on the positional accuracy of the GPS or the topomaps and how accurately the point was drawn on the topomap and digitized (relative accuracy). In 1999 GPS were accurate to +/- 100 metres. The detail on the original printed topomaps is positionally accurate to +/- 22 meters.
In terms of relative accuracy if a point was drawn on a 1:50000 scale map and placed 2mm out from its actual location then that point could be 100 meters out from the position it is actually supposed to be in. Likewise if that point is then digitized at 1:25000 scale and placed 1 mm out from the point show on the topomap then it would be an additional 25 meters out from its actual location.
As estimation we can assume is that, based on these factors and other uncertainties, the bio agent sites could be, at most, up to 200 metres out from their actual location. Positional errors in the boundaries are assumed negligible given the precision of the GIS. |
