An agent-based model of insect resistance management and mitigation for Bt maize: A social science perspective

2019-08-12

Abstract excerpt

Managing and mitigating agricultural pest resistance to control technologies is a complex system in which biological and social factors spatially and dynamically interact. We build a spatially explicit population genetics model for the evolution of pest resistance to Bt toxins by the insect Ostrinia nubilalis and an agent-based model of Bt maize adoption, emphasizing the importance of social factors. The farmer a...
