- Association The model explains 63% of the presence of Pseudoligosita babylonica
- Association The model explains 94% of the presence of Bocchus hyalinus
- Association Distribution of each natural enemy species appears to be influenced by climatological and environmental factors
- Recommendation Spatial analysis and modeling are highly useful for studying the distribution of Dubas bugs and their natural enemies
- Recommendation Spatial modeling may reduce the extent and costs of insecticidal spraying in date palm plantations
