- Abstract
The article focuses on the study on the importance of proper arrangements of patches between predator and agricultural pests. The study uses spatial simulation model, where it dispersed group of pest predators across computer simulated landscapes and analyzed the its ability to dominate pests. Moreover, the study concludes that spatial understanding of proper habitat of predators for pests can have a good effect on their ability in colonizing crops and limit the population of pest.
