Neco Model Questions Vol1 2020 Agricultural Science Question 32
Practice objective / multiple choice question 32 from the 2020 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
The economic injury level (EIL) for a pest is given by \( \text{EIL}=\frac{C}{V\times I} \) where \(C\) is the cost of control per hectare (₦), \(V\) is the market value per kilogram of crop (₦ kg⁻¹) and \(I\) is the injury per pest per kilogram of yield (kg loss per pest). For a particular crop, \(C=1200\) ₦, \(V=45\) ₦ kg⁻¹ and \(I=0.015\). One hectare contains 20 000 plants. A field scout counts 80 pests on 100 plants. Should the farmer apply control measures?
