This paper investigates the periodic solution of a delayed Beddington-DeAngelis (BD) type predator-prey model with discontinuous control strategy. Firstly, the regularity and visibility analysis of the delayed predator-prey model is carried out by using the principle of differential inclusion. Secondly, the positiveness and boundeness of the solution is discussed by employing the comparison theorem. Based on the boundary conditions of the model and the Mawhin-like coincidence theorem, it is shown that the solution of the delayed BD system is asymptotically stable in finite time. Furthermore, it is found that there exists at least one periodic solution of the nonautonomous delayed predator-prey model by using the principle of topological degree and set value mapping. Specially, when the nonautonomous delayed BD system degenerates into an autonomous system, some criteria are obtained to guarantee the convergence behavior of the harvesting solutions for the corresponding autonomous delayed BD system.Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of main results. It is worthy to point out that the discontinuous control strategy is superior to the continuous harvesting policies adopted in existing literature.
