Abstract
⺠We apply stochastic dynamic programming to integrated pest management for invasives. ⺠We allow the pest and introduced predator populations to evolve stochastically. ⺠Our case study is a program to control hemlock wooly adelgid in public forests. ⺠Depending on conditions it is optimal to use chemical, biological, or both controls. ⺠Early detection and effective biological control significantly improve net benefits.
