Integrated pest management is widely applied in terrestrial agriculture, but less so in aquaculture. Parallels to insect control in agricultural fields were exploited in this application of integrated pest management principles to control burrowing shrimp Neotrypaea californiensis and Upogebia pugettensis in Pacific Northwest U.S.A. oyster aquaculture. The pesticide carbaryl has been applied to...

The goal of this paper is to highlight important benefits and limitations of ubiquitous technology-based approaches to pest control that are often utilized outside the framework of integrated pest management (IPM). Particularly in Pennsylvania and other states on the fringe of the Cornbelt, where pest pressures can be lower or different than in large portions of the Midwest, farmers and pest ma...

In this paper, a prey predator impulsive mathematical model of integrated pest management is established, in which infected prey and predator (natural enemy) are released impulsively. By using the Floquet’s theory for impulsive differential equations, small-amplitude perturbation methods and comparison techniques, we investigate the local and global stability of the susceptible pest-eradication...
