Abstract

In this paper, a fractional-order model for the spread of pests in tea plants is presented. This model consists of three components: tea plant, pest, and predator. The stability of the boundary and positive fixed points is studied. The global stability properties of the positive equilibrium point are also investigated. In addition, fractional Hopf bifurcation conditions for the model are proposed. The generalized Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method is used to solve and simulate the system of fractional differential equations.

Keywords
