| contents | Coffee leaf rust (CLR) severely affects coffee production worldwide, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. To reduce the cost of control, small-scale farmers often only apply control measures once a noticeable level of infection is reached. In this work, we develop mathematical models to better understand CLR dynamics and impulsive biocontrol with threshold-based interventions. We first use ordinary and impulsive differential equations to describe disease spread and the application of control measures once a certain infection level is detected. These models help determine when and how often interventions should occur. To capture the early stages of the disease and the chance that it might die out by itself, we then use a continuous-time Markov chain approach. This stochastic model allows us to estimate the probability that the pathogen fails to establish, thereby avoiding serious outbreaks. |
