The Effect of Partial Crop Harvest on Biological Pest Control

open access: yesRocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, 2008
In this paper, the effects of periodic partial harvesting of a continuously grown crop on augmentative biological control are analyzed. Partial harvesting can remove a proportion of both pests and biological control agents, so its influence on the control efficiency cannot be a priori neglected.
