Pest management is a complex issue in real applications, and a practical program in pest
control in general involves two pest thresholds, where the biological control and chemical …

This work presents a pest control predator–prey model, where rate of change in prey density
follows a scaling law with exponent less than one and the control is by an integrated …

The complex dynamics of a two-trophic chain are investigated. The chain is described by a
general predator–prey system, in which the prey growth rate and the trophic interaction …

Biological control is an important tool for ecologically friendly crop protection against pests,
that consists in using a biological organism (predator, parasitoid, pathogen) to reduce the …

Intraspecific interactions such as Allee effects are key properties that can guide population
management. This contribution considers component Allee effects that are elementary …

We study a model for biological pest control (or “biocontrol”) in which a pest population is
controlled by a program of periodic releases of a fixed yield of predators that prey on the …

A generalized predator‐prey model concerning integrated pest management and nonlinear
impulsive control measures is proposed and analyzed. The main purpose is to understand …

Continuous harvest over an annual period is a common assumption of continuous biomass
dynamics models (CBDMs); however, fish are frequently harvested in a discrete manner. We …

A decision model is developed by adopting two control techniques, combining cultural
methods and pesticides in a hybrid approach. To control the adverse effects in the long term …

According to resource limitation, a more realistic pest management is that the impulsive
control actions should be adjusted according to the densities of both pest and natural enemy …
