Mathematicians have developed a new mathematical model which could greatly increase the efficiency of pest control and hence significantly reduce the impact of pests on crops whilst minimizing the ...

Deep learning-based intelligent recognition algorithms are increasingly recognized for their potential to address the labor-intensive challenge of manual pest detection. However, their deployment on ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 86, No. 2 (May, 2004), pp. 332-344 (13 pages) We describe a composed-error model for estimating pest-damage functions ...

Scientists have mapped the genomes for three kinds of parasitic wasps, providing a new genetic model system based on the Nasonia genus. The availability of these genome sequences will aid the analysis ...

Their model could be used in creating more efficient methods of pest control – by targeting the use of pesticides and other techniques to protect crops – and could be adapted to better understand the ...
