    This study reviews distributed delay methods for age-structured population models in agriculture. It explores mathematical properties and proposes an alternative Leslie matrix modification for modeling crop-pest interactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Mathematical Biology
    • Agricultural Science
    • Population Dynamics

    Background:

    • Age-structured population models are crucial for agricultural applications like crop-pest interaction modeling.
    • Accurately representing distributed maturation rates within populations is essential for model realism.
    • The distributed delay method is the traditional approach for incorporating maturation rate distributions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the application of the distributed delay formalism to the McKendrick equation for age-structured populations.
    • To analyze the mathematical properties of ordinary differential equations resulting from the distributed delay method.
    • To explore an alternative method for modeling distributed maturation rates using Leslie matrix modification.
