Modeling pheromone dispensers using genetic programming

The document discusses a study that models pheromone dispensers using genetic programming to assess their effectiveness in mating disruption for pest control, focusing on a biodegradable dispenser from CEQA. It posits the hypothesis that this dispenser's performance is independent of atmospheric conditions, unlike commercial alternatives, evidenced by genetic programming results. The study concludes that genetic programming provides a good fit for both dispensers and suggests future work to optimize dispenser placement for effective pest management.
