A model for biological control in agriculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistence and global stability of the coexistence equilibrium of a recently published model in biocontrol of crops are here shown both in absence and presence of delays, introduced to simulate the handling time of the prey. In the latter case, the system can behave in two different ways, in dependence of whether a suitably defined key parameter exceeds a certain threshold. Namely, below the threshold the delay is shown not to be able to influence the stability of the coexistence equilibrium; above it, existence of Hopf bifurcations is analytically proven. Further, in this range, numerical simulations reveal a route to chaotic behavior as function of the size of the delay. Some operative conclusions for agroecosystem management are drawn, although they ultimately depend on each particular situation.

Quantitative information about the response of seedling emergence totemperature for safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is rare. The main objective ofthe present study was to develop a model for predicting days to emergence forsafflower as influenced by the temperature. In this regard, a field experiment with arange of sowing dates and four safflower cultivars were conducted to describe theresp...

Researchers of CSIRO Land and Water in Griffith in Australia have found a way to repeatedly reuse drainage water to grow crops. In the process the system will concentrate the salt in the water to a manageable level which can then be used or stored in an environmentally friendly manner. The process, known as sequential biological concentration, is based on a novel system for Land, based treatmen...
