🧪 Agriculture Pest Control Simulation

Interactive 3D crop field: release ladybug biocontrol agents or spray pesticide against an aphid outbreak. A live Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with pesticide selectivity and resistance buildup tracks pest population, beneficial insects and crop yield in real time.

This simulation demonstrates the principles of pest management in agricultural settings through a live predator-prey population model. An aphid outbreak grows logistically across a 3D crop field while you weigh two real control strategies: releasing ladybug biocontrol agents that hunt pests but take time to establish, or spraying pesticide for an immediate kill that comes with a selectivity trade-off and cumulative resistance. Watch pest and beneficial-insect populations, cumulative crop damage and yield respond in real time to your interventions, exactly as an Integrated Pest Management program has to balance them in the field.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation demonstrates the principles of pest management in agricultural settings. It explores how various control methods – such as biological controls and targeted pesticide application – can be used to minimize crop damage caused by insects and other pests.
