Biological Pest Control in Agroecosystems
AgronomyIn recent decades, the intensification of agriculture, driven mainly by the use of agrochemicals, monocultures and intensive mechanization, has led to a substantial increase in global agricultural productivity [...]

Fixed-Time Synergetic Approach for Biological Pest Control Based on Lotka-Volterra Model
IEEE Access, 2021 Biological pest control has a strong advantage in its non-chemical effects on the environment. In this study, a fixed-time synergetic control scheme for the biological pest control problems represented by the $n$ -dimensional Lotka-Volterra model was ...

Surfactant affects the tool use behavior of foraging ants
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Surfactants are commonly used in detergents, soaps and agrichemical products. After use, the residual surfactants can be dispersed into environmental compartments, directly or indirectly affecting aquatic and terrestrial organisms.

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 strategies aimed at reducing the presence of pests is considered, evaluated and compared.
