This paper focuses on the minimal wave speed of time-periodic traveling waves to a Lotka-Volterra competition model with seasonal succession. It is the first time the general conditions of linear selection and nonlinear selection have been derived by the comparison principle and the upper-lower solution method. Based on the decay characteristics of traveling waves, we obtain some explicit conditions for determining the selection mechanism of the minimal wave speed by constructing upper/lower solutions, which include the first explicit condition for the nonlinear selection and the explicit conditions for the linear selection that greatly improve the result in the reference.
