Traditionally, forecasting models were developed using pest or disease instances collected through pest or disease surveillance. The present disclosure relates to pest forecasting using historical pesticide usage information thereby obviating need for voluminous and time consuming effort of collecting site specific data. Firstly forecasting models for different pests or diseases of different crops are generated based on historical data on pesticide usage and historical weather data collected for a geo-location under consideration. The model is validated and adapted with the current scenario of pests. Current scenario is captured using image samples sent from the field or farm through participatory sensing platform. The images are then analyzed to extract information like actual pest infestation in the field, severity, if there was infestation and the like. This analyses helps to derive the actual pest infestation instances in the field.
