Within the framework of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), understanding the ecology of the system is key to identifying the most suitable methods of pest control (Thomas, 1999). With estimated global yield losses of up to 40% from pests and pathogens (Savary et al., 2019), climate change-driven pest range expansion (Bebber et al., 2013), evolution of pesticide resistance (Whalon et al., 2008), and recent bans on many environmentally damaging pesticides (Bakker et al., 2020), alternative solutions to pest control are
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
