Best organic farming expansion scenarios for pest control: a modeling approach by Delattre, Thomas, Memah, Mohamed-Mahmoud, Franck, Pierre, Valsesia, Pierre, Lavigne, Claire

“…In order to understand and forecast how pests and their biological control may vary during OF expansion, we modeled the effect of spatial changes in farming practices on population dynamics of a pest and its natural enemy. We investigated the impact on pest density and on predator to pest ratio of three contrasted scenarios aiming at 50% organic fields through the progressive conversion of conventional fields. …”
