Abstract

In this paper, we propose a simple mathematical model of interaction between the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) and its egg parasitoid Trichogramma galloi. In this model, the sugarcane borer is represented by the egg and the larval stages, and the parasitoid is considered in terms of the parasitized eggs. Linear feedback control strategy is proposed to indicate how the natural enemies should be introduced into the environment.
