Neco 2023 Agricultural Science Question 32
Practice objective / multiple choice question 32 from the 2023 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A pest causes an average loss of 0.02 tonnes per hectare. The cost of applying a pesticide is ₦12,000 per hectare and the pesticide prevents 85% of the loss. The market price of the crop is ₦70,000 per tonne. Using the economic injury level (EIL) formula \(EIL = \frac{C}{V \times I \times K}\), where \(C\) is control cost, \(V\) is market value per tonne, \(I\) is loss per pest (tonnes), and \(K\) is efficacy, calculate the EIL in number of pests per hectare (round to the nearest whole pest).
