A modeling framework for biological pest control [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2020 We present an analytic framework where biological pest control can be simulated. Control is enforced through the choice of a time and space dependent function representing the deployment of a species of predators that feed on pests. A sample of different

Crop diversification affects biological pest control [PDF]
Agroznanje, 2013 Crop monocultures encourage the multiplication and spread of pest insects on massive and uniform crop. Numerous studies have evaluated the impact of plant diversification on pests and beneficial arthropods population dynamics in agricultural ecosystems ...

Insects, 2023 In recent years, pea aphids have become major pests of alfalfa. Our previous study found that “Gannong 5” is a highly aphid-resistant alfalfa variety and that “Lie Renhe” is a susceptible one.

Agronomy, 2023 Intensive agriculture has a strong impact on the structure of arthropod communities in soil. Sown covers can contribute to their conservation, especially for generalist predators such as spiders and predatory beetles.

Insects, 2023 Melon is among the most consumed fruits in the world, being a crop that depends almost entirely on insects for its reproduction, which is why it is especially sensitive to declining pollination services.

Pest control using farming awareness: impact of time delays and optimal use of biopesticides [PDF]
Chaos Solitons Fractals 146 (2021), Art. 110869, 11 pp, 2021 We investigate a mathematical model in crop pest management, considering plant biomass, pest, and the effect of farming awareness. The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pest and infected pest. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of healthy pests present in the crop field ...

Controlling crop pest with a farming awareness based integrated approach and optimal control [PDF]
Comput. Math. Methods 3 (2021), no. 6, Paper e1194, 1--24, 2021 We investigate a mathematical model in crop pest controlling, considering plant biomass, pest, and the effect of farming awareness. The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pests and infected pests. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of susceptible pests existing in the crop arena.
