In this paper, the effect of pesticides on the pest affecting a paddy field and also on fishes living in the soil water was analyzed by control theoretic means to determine the threshold limits of pesticide to be used.
Abstract
The paper deals with the effect of pesticide on the pest affecting a paddy field and also on the fishes living in the soil water. An objective function is formed in terms of projected loss of individual fish, the projected profit of killing a pest and the cost of spraying insecticide for a finite time period. Next the corresponding pest management model is formed by considering the growth equations of paddy, pest, and fish of the soil water. The model is analyzed by control theoretic means to determine the threshold limits of pesticide to be used. Lastly, the optimal value of pesticide is obtained. It is shown that the optimal value lies within the threshold limits. Finally corresponding to this optimal threshold value of pesticide, the optimal values of the biomass of paddy and that of the fish of the soil water are also obtained. The results are finally verified numerically by special choice of parameters compatible with the model.

An improved integrated pest management model under 2-control parameters (sterile male and pesticide).

TL;DR: It is shown that restricted and proper use of control measures might enhance the crop production of the system in an economically viable way and the vulnerability of the underlined ecosystem due to the effect of temperature on the pest growth.

A more realistic approach to pest-management problem.

TL;DR: The optimal analysis of the model under two control parameters, one is the spraying of pesticide and other is the release of predators; such optimal analysis under multi-control parameters is completely new of its kind.

Optimal Control of a Prey-Predator System*

TL;DR: The use of optimal control theory is used to obtain optimal strategies for the control of a prey-predator system and it is feasible to control a pest by means of an insecticide that destroys only the predators but leaves the pests unharmed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of human control is added to a known model for a prey-predator system, and the optimal control for this system subject to selective insecticide control, general insecticide and biological control is then determined for a cost function dependent upoIn both crop damage and economic costs of control.

Bionomic equilibrium of two-species system. I.

TL;DR: It is proven that for the first type of feasible point, if the cost per unit effort is kept under proper threshold values, then corresponding to each such value, the maximum value of the efforts exerted can be calculated in terms of the given parameters only.

Control targets for the management of biological systems

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of minimizing a cost integral on an infinite time interval is avoided by minimizing an average of the cost function over an unknown but periodic time interval, where the control inputs are chosen so that an integral cost function of the state of the system, the control used, current time, and the time interval of the control program is minimized.
