Glossary

Agroecosystem, agrosystem:

Agricultural ecosystem. An ecosystem that is managed to optimize the production of a crop plant or part of it.

Biological control:

Use or manipulation of natural enemies (predators, parasitoids, or diseases of pests) to suppress pest populations.

Crop resistance to pests:

One or more qualities that some crop plant varieties have resulting in less damage by a number of pest individuals in comparison with a variety without those qualities when it is exposed to the same pest numbers.

Damage caused by a pest:

Damage is the monetary value lost to the commodity as a result of injury by the pest, for instance, by yield reduction.

Economic injury level of a pest:

The pest population density at which the cost to control the pest equals the amount of damage it inflicts.

Economic threshold of a pest:

The pest population density at which a control measure has to be taken to prevent population from reaching the economic injury level.
