INFORMATION IN AGRICULTURAL PEST CONTROL
为农业生产者开发了一个关于害虫侦察和喷洒活动的决策辅助工具，重点是如何计算害虫种群估计值以及何时采取行动，并通过棉花-盲蝽系统展示了结果。
This paper develops a decision aid for agricultural producers regarding their pest scouting and spraying activities. The basic issue is how estimates of pest populations are computed and when the operator should act using that information. Scouting for pests, essentially a search operation, can lead to a change in the strategy for applying pesticide. An adaptive‐scouting process is developed to unify the spraying and scouting activities. Some results, for the cotton‐lygus bug system, are presented.
