PPT-Optimizing Crop Rotations and Pest Management Strategies in Agriculture

By Madeleine Ferguson Advisor Dr John Ramsay Department of Mathematics The goal of this project is to investigate how mathematical models can be applied to crop rotation decisions in agriculture One major concern that farmers face is pests This project seeks to respond to this by solving optimization models that represent scenarios in which pests are present and pose a threat to yield Two previously published models were replicated A new model was created that optimizes field crop rotations for five years in an ecosystem with two pests present . Baldwin armers in ancient cultures as diverse as those of China Greece and Rome shared a common understanding about crop rotations They learned from experience that growing the same crop year after year on the same piece of land resulted in low yiel Learning Objectives. 1.
