J Biol Dyn. 2020 Dec;14(1):566-577. doi: 10.1080/17513758.2020.1786860.

Abstract

Considering the rhizosphere microbes easily affected by the environmental factors, we formulate a three-dimensional diffusion model of the rhizosphere microbes with the impulsive feedback control to describe the complex degradation and movement by introducing beneficial microbes into the plant rhizosphere. The sufficient conditions for existence of the order-1 periodic solution are obtained by using the geometrical theory of the impulsive semi-dynamical system. We show the impulsive control system tends to an order-1 periodic solution if the control measures are achieved. Furthermore, we investigate the stability of the order-1 periodic solution by means of a novel method introduced in the literature [Y. Ye, The Theory of the Limit Cycle, Shanghai Science and Technology Press, 1984.]. Finally, mathematical results are justified by some numerical simulations.
