Economic threshold
The economic threshold is the financial benchmark that determines whether a phytosanitary treatment is cost-effective. Essentially, treatment is justified when the potential crop damage exceeds the cost of intervention.
Performing a treatment involves several direct costs for the farm, including product purchase, fuel, and machinery maintenance. These expenses must be weighed against the expected economic loss. If the potential economic damage to the crop surpasses the treatment cost, intervention is necessary. Conversely, if the treatment cost outweighs the damage, it is preferable to tolerate the pest presence rather than treat it.
By simplifying crop protection and optimizing farm management, BioAksxter® allows farmers to make the most of their resources and investments. When used as a preventative measure, BioAksxter® reduces the need for aggressive treatments, enabling growers to manage their crops more efficiently, both agronomically and economically.
