Abstract

Simulation models have been used for several applications in the area of pest management which helped to increase the efficiency of field research greatly. These have become more relevant in emerging research areas such as climate change impacts on pest dynamics and crop-pest interaction and pest forewarning. The application of geo spatial techniques holds promise for efficient pest surveillance and risk analysis on wide-area basis. The appropriate pest management decisions require a holistic crop loss assessment and estimation of multi-pest EILs. The natural enemy populations need to be considered in decision making to prevent unwarranted pesticide applications.
