Pest control using farming awareness: impact of time delays and optimal use of biopesticides [PDF]
Chaos Solitons Fractals 146 (2021), Art. 110869, 11 pp, 2021 We investigate a mathematical model in crop pest management, considering plant biomass, pest, and the effect of farming awareness. The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pest and infected pest. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of healthy pests present in the crop field ...

Insects, 2023 Melon is among the most consumed fruits in the world, being a crop that depends almost entirely on insects for its reproduction, which is why it is especially sensitive to declining pollination services.

Controlling crop pest with a farming awareness based integrated approach and optimal control [PDF]
Comput. Math. Methods 3 (2021), no. 6, Paper e1194, 1--24, 2021 We investigate a mathematical model in crop pest controlling, considering plant biomass, pest, and the effect of farming awareness. The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pests and infected pests. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of susceptible pests existing in the crop arena.

Dynamics of a Double-Impulsive Control Model of Integrated Pest Management Using Perturbation Methods and Floquet Theory [PDF]
Axioms 12 (2023), no. 4, Art. 391, 14 pp, 2023 We formulate an integrated pest management model to control natural pests of the crop through the periodic application of biopesticide and chemical pesticides. In a theoretical analysis of the system pest eradication, a periodic solution is found and established. All the system variables are proved to be bounded.

Biological Control of Pests [PDF]
, 2011 Modern era is witnessing versatile application and utilization of prophecies, processes, and products of sustainable agriculture that pose minimum or negligible negative impacts on environment. Use of microorganisms for curbing the attack of plant pathogenic organisms/pests forms the foremost limb of integrated pest management and is responsible for ...

Native parasitoids and a novel invasive host:Linking evolutionary ecology and biological pest control [PDF]
, 2022 The use of natural enemies to control pests is of increasing importance in agriculture because pesticide application has become restrictive. One of the major challenges within biological pest control is to find natural enemies that have the right ...
