Zheng C and Comar TD. An Agent-Based Model for Integrated Pest Management with Refuge for the Pest Species. Mathematical Association of America MathFest Conference Oral Presentation. (2023).

AbstractWe propose an agent-based model (ABM) for integrated pest management (IPM) with refuge for the pest species. The control strategies of augmentation of the predator species and pesticide application and births occur periodically at possibly different frequencies. Moreover, the amount of augmentation depends on the ratio of the population densities of the pests and predators. We consider how the location of the refuge areas with respect to the location of the crops can impact pest eradication.
