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

Insights from Population Genomics to Enhance and Sustain Biological Control of Insect Pests [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Biological control—the use of organisms (e.g., nematodes, arthropods, bacteria, fungi, viruses) for the suppression of insect pest species—is a well-established, ecologically sound and economically profitable tactic for crop protection. This approach has

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 ...

Fungal Warriors: Effects of <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> and <i>Purpureocillium lilacinum</i> on CCYV-Carrying Whiteflies. [PDF]
BiomoleculesBemisia tabaci is a major agricultural pest that affects both greenhouse and field crops by feeding on plant sap, which impairs plant growth, and by secreting honeydew, promotes sooty mold growth that further reduces photosynthesis.
