A Conceptual Model for Assessing the Minimum Size Area for an Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management Program

Figure 3

Dimensions of the area under control: 𝐴 is the core area; 𝑇 is the total rectangle (core + buffer); 𝑥 is the width of the 𝐴 area; 𝑘𝑥 is the length as a multiple of the width; 𝑑 is the width of the buffer zone (𝐵)(𝐵=𝑇−𝐴).
