Abstract

Pest issues have always been the focus of attention in agriculture. The Integrated Pest Management(IPM) method is currently the most popular way to be applied for pest control. In this study, according to the IPM strategy, we regard pest quantity as a threshold index and extend the Leslie-Gower model into a non-smooth Filippov system through combining chemical and biological control. To maintain the pest population at or below the given economic threshold(ET), we investigate the global dynamics of the proposed model, including the existence of sliding mode and various equilibria, sliding dynamics and bifurcations, and global stability of equilibria. The result shows that desired equilibria can be globally stable under some conditions, meaning that our control tactics work. In particular, the case where our strategy fails to be effective arouses interest. In the end, the biological implications of the results are discussed and given in detail.
