The Use of Green Lacewing and Anagyrus Lopezi for a Biological Control of Cassava Mealybug: A Simulation Study
Authors: ,
Abstract: In this work, we investigate the use of both green lacewing and Anagyrus Lopezi as biological control agents for cassava mealybugs in a cassava field. The study is carried out by employing a cellular automata model and a Monte Carlo simulation technique. Two strategies for releasing green lacewings and Anagyrus Lopezi are then investigated.
