Insect-pest component in most of the models is weak, in some model dealt through input of pest population at various stages of crop growth to assess the yield loss associated with crops and cropping systems.
there is a need to develop population dynamics for major insect-pests of a region, and integrate with the crop simulation tools.
,my interest is to know the related work on this important aspect?
Kindly see through..it also..

Thanks Sir.
I am enclosing a link based on empirical data. May be of some use. pl guide

In such studies it is more important (than just having a good pest model) to regard the pest as an 'indicator' of the maldesign and mismanagement of the agroecosystem (and to do research to correct these causes) rather than just as an 'enemy' to be controlled within such systems - the attached materials support these ideas - Supportively, Stuart
Thanks Dr Stuart for nice comments and extremely useful papers
