During this analysis, as per natural control approach in pest management, a plant-pest dynamics with biological control is proposed, here assuming that the pest and natural enemy are having different levels of gestation delay and harvesting rate of pests by natural enemy follows Holling type-III response function. Boundedness and positivity of the system are studied. Equilibria and stability analysis is carried out for possible equilibrium points. The existence of Hopf bifurcation at interior equilibrium is presented. The sensitivity analysis of the system at interior equilibrium point for model parameters has been explored. Numerical simulations are performed to support our analytic findings.

This paper mainly indicates the pest-control problem by using the biological control and the pesticide control. Firstly, it analyzed the continuous changing population of the three species-plants, plant pest and natural enemy-and the pesticides’ effects to establish a three-species model of the pests’ integrated control. Secondly, the pest equilibrium points with the natural enemy and that without natural enemy were obtained. We discussed the stability of the equilibrium points by the Hurwitz theorem and the first approximation method of stability and got the sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability. Finally, numerical simulations were performed by Matlab to analyze and verify the integrated control of plant pests in the situations with some natural enemies and without enemy. Moreover, the effects of spraying pesticides which have different killing rates on enemy and plant pest were analyzed.
