Abstract

Artificial life computational model can be used to simulate the dynamic behavior of certain agro-ecosystem. In this paper, we present an agent-based artificial agro-ecosystem model to simulate the interaction between pest movements and trap crop physical design. The result of simulation shows that artificial agro-ecosystem model has a broad application prospect in the field of agro-ecosystem management.
