Investigating the use of wasps Anagyrus lopezi as a biological control agent for cassava mealybugs: modeling and simulation

Abstract In this paper, a cellular automata model is developed in order to investigate the control of cassava mealybugs in a cassava field when the wasp Anagyrus lopezi is used as the biological control agent. The model is constructed based upon farmers’ usual practices of cassava planting in Thaila...
