What is the main purpose of the Economic Injury Level in relation to pest control?

To determine the most expensive pesticide
To assess the level of pest-induced injuries
To identify the economic impact of pest damage
To find the pest population density causing losses equal to control costs

The correct answer is: To find the pest population density causing losses equal to control costs

The Economic Injury Level (EIL) is used in pest control to help determine the economic threshold for damage caused by pests. This means finding the pest population density that would result in losses equal to the cost of controlling the pest. This helps farmers and pest control professionals make informed decisions about when and how to intervene in pest infestations. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of the EIL. Option A focuses on the cost of pesticides rather than the actual damage caused by pests. Option B is too general and does not specify the cause of the injuries. Option C mentions economic impact, but does not specify how it is related to pest damage. Option D is the most accurate and specific answer.
