Study of mathematical methods and models usage in the pesticide degradation and residue prediction

Pesticide was widely used in agriculture industry to ensure the crops' yield and quality, followed that pesticide pollution had become one of the most serious issues for public health in the world. Therefore, it's necessary to develop mathematical models for the prediction of pesticide degradation and residue. In this paper, we introduced four kinds of mathematical models in pesticide prediction, and offered the basis theories and practical applications for each model. Then we compared their advantages and disadvantages systematically by analyzing the roles of each one. Finally, present challenges and future perspectives in pesticide residue prediction fields were discussed
