▪ Abstract Many agroecosystems are unfavorable environments for natural enemies due to
high levels of disturbance. Habitat management, a form of conservation biological control, is …

Conservation biological control (CBC) has widely benefited from ecological practices that
enhance both the crop and its surrounding environment. However, use of insecticides …

Biological control provides an environmentally safe, cost-effective and energyefficient
means of pest control, either alone or as a component of integrated pest management. The …

Integrated pest management (IPM) programs emphasize the combination of tactics, such as
chemical and biological control, to maintain pest populations below economic thresholds …

Abstract To further develop Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies against crop pests,
it is important to evaluate the effects of insecticides on biological control agents. Therefore …

In order to control pests, a specific management strategy called the threshold policy is
proposed, which can be described by Filippov systems (or piecewise smooth systems). The …

The history and recent developments of conservation biological control (CBC) in the context
of industrialized and small-scale agriculture are discussed from theoretical framework …

Recently, plant protection strategy has recommended, minimizing the use of chemical
pesticides. Therefore, studying the side effect of insecticides on the natural enemies is highly …

Many factors including pest natural enemy ratios, starting densities, timings of natural enemy
releases, dosages and timings of insecticide applications and instantaneous killing rates of …

Ecological relationships between wildlife conservation and farm management provide
common ground for the enhancement of bird habitat and the natural suppression of pests on …
