Abstract

In developing countries, the agricultural industry is pivotal in economic development and sustaining rural livelihoods. However, one of the major challenges to achieving food security globally is crop losses due to pests. Pest control is a vital practice for safeguarding crops; it is often complicated by the need to balance pest reduction with the associated costs of operations, as well as the potential impacts on the environment and human health. This delicate balance is crucial for sustainable agriculture and long-term food security. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to quantify the complex biological processes involved in the biological control of pests through prey-predator mechanisms. We provide trajectory analysis in the research discussion analysis.
