Abstract:In this work, the control of brown planthopper, a major pest of rice, when a biological control agent (Cyrtorhinus lividipennis) and a pathogen (Beauveria bassiana) are utilized is investigated mathematically. An impulsive mathematical model accounted for the population densities of susceptible brown planthoppers (brown planthoppers that are susceptible to Beauveria bassiana), infected brown planthoppers (brown planthoppers that are infected by Beauveria bassiana), and Cyrtorhinus lividipennis (a natural enemy… Show more
