Trap cropping is a pest management strategy where a grower plants an attractive "trap crop" alongside the primary crop to divert pests away from it. We propose a simple framework for optimizing the proportion of a grower's field or greenhouse allocated to a main crop and a trap crop to maximize agricultural yield.
