( 1 ) A model for the growth and development of cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz, as modified by weather, soil nitrogen and water is described, and used in later papers to evaluate damage by exotic cassava pests and the effectiveness of control by natural. (2) Analogous relationships between t...

The interactions between cowpea and one of its key pests, Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom), were evaluated via a simulation model based on three modules building the core of the cowpea growth model, i.e. the time-varying distributed delay, the functional response acquisition function, and the me...
