A model-based approach to assess the effectiveness of pest biocontrol by natural enemies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Main goal: The aim of this note is to propose a modeling approach for assessing the effectiveness of pest biocontrol by natural enemies in diversified agricultural landscapes including several pesticide-based management strategies. Our approach combines a stochastic landscape model with a spatially-explicit model of population dynamics.

Pesti-Gen: Unleashing a Generative Molecule Approach for Toxicity Aware Pesticide Design [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Global climate change has reduced crop resilience and pesticide efficacy, making reliance on synthetic pesticides inevitable, even though their widespread use poses significant health and environmental risks. While these pesticides remain a key tool in pest management, previous machine-learning applications in pesticide and agriculture have focused on ...

Federated learning in food research [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Research in the food domain is at times limited due to data sharing obstacles, such as data ownership, privacy requirements, and regulations. While important, these obstacles can restrict data-driven methods such as machine learning. Federated learning, the approach of training models on locally kept data and only sharing the learned parameters, is a ...

Mitigating Farmland Biodiversity Loss: A Bio-Economic Model of Land Consolidation and Pesticide Use [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Biodiversity loss driven by agricultural intensification is a pressing global issue, with significant implications for ecosystem stability and human well-being. Existing policy instruments have so far proven insufficient in halting this decline, which raises the need to explore the possible feedback loops that are pivotal to ecosystem degradation.
