Pests, Diseases & DisordersHow does an economic injury level differ from an action threshold in a mango pest program?
The economic injury level concerns the pest pressure at which expected damage costs justify the cost of control. An action threshold is the earlier decision point intended to prevent reaching that level, allowing for population growth and response time. Neither is a universal insect count. Mango value, market tolerances, treatment costs, and the specific pest all affect whether a published threshold transfers to another operation.
