The effects of ants on pest control: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2022 Environmental impacts of conventional agriculture have generated interest in sustainable agriculture. Biological pest control is a fundamental tool, and ants are key players providing ecological services, as well as some disservices.

Role of gut symbionts of insect pests: A novel target for insect-pest control. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2023 Insects possess beneficial and nuisance values in the context of the agricultural sector and human life around them. An ensemble of gut symbionts assists insects to adapt to diverse and extreme environments and to occupy every available niche on earth ...

Interacting pest control and pollination services in coffee systems. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance Food production depends on biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) such as pest control and pollination. Our knowledge about biodiversity benefits to crop production has increased in recent decades, but most studies treat ES separately and ...

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 ...

Farming awareness based optimum interventions for crop pest control [PDF]
Math. Biosci. Eng. 18 (2021), no. 5, 5364--5391, 2021 We develop a mathematical model, based on a system of ordinary differential equations, to the upshot of farming alertness in crop pest administration, bearing in mind plant biomass, pest, and level of control. Main qualitative analysis of the proposed mathematical model, akin to both pest-free and coexistence equilibrium points and stability analysis ...

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.
