Causality and Explainability for Trustworthy Integrated Pest Management [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Pesticides serve as a common tool in agricultural pest control but significantly contribute to the climate crisis. To combat this, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) stands as a climate-smart alternative. Despite its potential, IPM faces low adoption rates due to farmers' skepticism about its effectiveness.

Novel Dynamics in an Additional Food provided Predator-Prey System with mutual interference [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The provision of additional food (AF) sources to an introduced predator has been identified as a mechanism to improve pest control. However, AF models with prey dependent functional responses can cause unbounded growth of the predator \cite{S27}. To avoid such dynamics, an AF model with mutual interference effect has been proposed \cite{S02}.

PEST sequences from a cactus dehydrin regulate its proteolytic degradation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Dehydrins (DHNs) are intrinsically disordered proteins expressed under cellular dehydration-related stresses. In this study, we identified potential proteolytic PEST sequences located at the central and C-terminal regions from the Opuntia streptacantha ...

Pest presence prediction using interpretable machine learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Helicoverpa Armigera, or cotton bollworm, is a serious insect pest of cotton crops that threatens the yield and the quality of lint. The timely knowledge of the presence of the insects in the field is crucial for effective farm interventions. Meteo-climatic and vegetation conditions have been identified as key drivers of crop pest abundance.

Additional food causes predator "explosion" -- unless the predators compete [PDF]
, 2022 The literature posits that an introduced predator population, is able to drive it's target pest population extinct, if supplemented with high quality additional food of quantity $\xi > \xi_{critical}$, \cite{SP11, SPV18, SPD17, SPM13}. We show this approach leads to infinite time blow-up of the predator population.
