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 ...

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 ...
