This study develops a mathematical model for describing the dynamics of the banana-nematodes and its pest detection method to help banana farmers. Two criteria: the mathematical model and the type of nematodes pest control system are discussed. The sensitivity analysis, local stability, global stability, and the dynamic behavior of the mathematical model are performed. Further, we also develop and discuss the optimal control mathematical model. This mathematical model represents various modes of management, including the initial release of infected predators as well as the destroying of nematodes. The theoretical results are shown and verified by numerical simulations.

Banana, as an important-part of the fruit project in China, is a pillar industry of tropical agriculture, which is also a major source of farmers’ income. The change in the field environment has a great effect on the production of bananas. The key environment factors and characteristics which affect banana high efficient cultivation, are yet to be resolved. We realized that some environmental changes may affect banana yield, especially natural disasters such as typhoon or drought. A kind of mathematical model which can reflect the relationship between banana cultivation and field environment should be built. Based on the problem, we will systemically research the monitoring model between banana growth and field environment and focus on the key factors. We will analysis monitoring model characteristics in order to reveal the change law of the environment parameters of banana growth. The basic data and framework can be provided for banana expert system. Results in this thesis will set up the foundation for serving relevant government offices, farmers and consumers.
