Abstract:Sterile insect techniques (SIT) are biological, non-polluting pest control methods used on farms. The release of false male codling moths (FCM) is used in this method to reduce the number of fertile female FCM in the farm population. In this study, a mathematical model that simulates the interaction between the susceptible host, the sterile male FCM population, and the wildFCM population is developed. The local and global stability analysis of the model is analysed and found to be asymptotically stable when Ro… Show more
