Seasonal Dynamics in a Stage-Structured Two-Prey, One-predator Model with Integrated Pest Management at Two Distinct Impulses

Key Points

• The predator-prey interactions are influenced by seasonal dynamics and stage-structured population models, revealing complex ecological interactions.
• Integrated pest management strategies can be tuned to operate at two distinct impulses, optimizing pest control efforts.
• This model highlights the necessity of understanding seasonal impacts on biological control systems to inform agricultural practices.
• Implications may enable better management of pest populations, potentially improving crop yields and sustainability.
