Local pesticide use intensity conditions landscape effects on biological pest control
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 Complex landscapes including semi-natural habitats are expected to favour natural enemies thereby enhancing natural pest biocontrol in crops. However, when considering a large number of situations, the response of natural biocontrol to landscape ...

Mathematical model for pest-insect control using mating disruption and trapping [PDF]
Applied Mathematical Modelling 52 (2017), 437-457, 2016 Controlling pest insects is a challenge of main importance to preserve crop production. In the context of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, we develop a generic model to study the impact of mating disruption control using an artificial female pheromone to confuse males and adversely affect their mating opportunities.

Journal of Pest Science, 2016 Biological pest control with mass-produced arthropod natural enemies is well developed in greenhouse crops and has often resulted in the evolution of complex ecosystems with persistent populations of multiple arthropod natural enemy species.

Organizmy pożyteczne w strategiach biologicznego zwalczania – grzyby owadobójcze
Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2010 Fungal entomopathogens are widespread in nature and contribute to the natural regulation of insects. They can be exploited for pest management as biological control agents of pests in attempts to improve the sustainability of crop protection.

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021 Pest control based on an economic threshold (ET) can effectively prevent excessive pest control measures such as pesticide abuse and overharvesting. The instinctive dispersal of pest populations in biological network patches for better survival poses ...

Trap-Based Pest Counting: Multiscale and Deformable Attention CenterNet Integrating Internal LR and HR Joint Feature Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Pest counting, which predicts the number of pests in the early stage, is very important because it enables rapid pest control, reduces damage to crops, and improves productivity. In recent years, light traps have been increasingly used to lure and photograph pests for pest counting.
