I didn't understand:
1. how they didn't have pest problems if they planted in fractal patterns
2. but they did have pest problems if they didn't plant at the same time
Could someone kindly explain that in a little more depth?

The strategy is that if there are several fields planted for the same amount of bugs, each field receive less bugs than if it was the only one planted (on the contrary, if they were planted one after an other, the whole bug population would just jump from field to field).
