Models for integrated pest management with chemicals in atmospheric surface layers

Abstract: Surface layer landscapes are described by spatial distributions of canopy type and roughness, surface slopes and topography. Agricultural landscapes also include distributions of pests and pest management systems. Insect populations together with pheromone traps or dispensers constitute a system that depends on the airborne chemical ‘landscape’ shaped by the emissions and wind dispersal. Effective operation of such complex systems needs integrative tools comprising dynamic component modelling.
