Abstract
Releasing amount of natural enemy generally depends on its population data, while impulsive releasing natural enemy usually brings about a time delay after the data is observed in the practical pest management. Therefore, it is very important for pest managers to assess the impact of the time delay in pest management. In this paper, we construct a pest-natural enemy model with time delay in impulsive releasing natural enemy. We prove that the pest-free periodic solution of model $(2.1)$ is globally attractive with $\eta \tau<\frac{\zeta y^{\ast}(1-e^{-\lambda \tau})}{\lambda}$. We also prove that model $(2.1)$ is permanent with $\eta \tau>\frac{\zeta y^{\ast}(1-e^{-\lambda \tau})}{\lambda}$. Further influence of the time delay in impulsive releasing on dynamical behaviors of model $(2.1)$ is investigated by numerical simulations. Our results provide reliable tactics for pest management.

AB  - Releasing amount of natural enemy generally depends on its population data, while impulsive releasing natural enemy usually brings about a time delay after the data is observed in the practical pest management. Therefore, it is very important for pest managers to assess the impact of the time delay in pest management. In this paper, we construct a pest-natural enemy model with time delay in impulsive releasing natural enemy. We prove that the pest-free periodic solution of model $(2.1)$ is globally attractive with $\eta \tau\frac{\zeta y^{\ast}(1-e^{-\lambda \tau})}{\lambda}$. Further influence of the time delay in impulsive releasing on dynamical behaviors of model $(2.1)$ is investigated by numerical simulations. Our results provide reliable tactics for pest management.
