The crop's susceptibility factor to this disease is \(0.75\) (i.e., each percent of disease intensity reduces yield by \(0.75\%\)). A control measure reduces the incidence by \(20\%\) of the original incidence and the severity by \(10\%\) of the original severity. What is the percentage reduction in the expected yield loss due to the control measure?
