Abstract
The cassava virus diseases co-dynamics model is formulated and analysed using ordinary differential equations theories. The modelling involves cassava plant and whitefly vector population, with aspects of Farmer's awareness level. The evaluation of farmers' awareness inverted numerically and found that increasing awareness levels among farmers decrease disease transmission and spread. The data from ten district councils in the Tanzania lake zone fit and estimate the model parameters. In addition, time-dependent controls were incorporated to reduce the burden on cassava farmers. The findings revealed that with limited resources, uprooting and burning the infected cassava plants and awareness campaign programs significantly reduce the transmission. Therefore, to overcome the burden caused by cassava virus diseases, the farmers are recommended to uproot and burn the infected cassava plants from the farm. Also, it should be updated on controlling disease through educational campaign programs to enhance farmers' awareness.
