Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on monitoring and data collection of pests.
Many efforts are devoted to overcoming the anthropogenic damage to the environment via the excessive implementation of toxic insecticides. Accurate monitoring of pests’ population sizes during their life history may allow the use of hazardous insecticides to be reduced. Using a decision support system based on precision agriculture, pest physiology, communication and behavior (chemical, visual, acoustic), GIS technologies, machine learning, etc., may allow accurate data collection and the evaluation of forecast models.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of monitoring and data collection of pests. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive reviews and survey papers
