Assessing the Economic Injury Level of Pests in Vegetable Crops (Tomatoes, Cabbage)

This article presents the results of research conducted to assess the Economic Injury Level (EIL) of key pests affecting vegetable crops, specifically tomatoes and cabbage. During the study, the damage caused by each pest to the yield was determined, and their Economic Threshold (ET) was established. Furthermore, effective control measures were substantiated through monitoring, pest population counting, and analyzing their impact on yield. Based on the obtained results, recommendations were developed to improve the biological and integrated pest management systems for vegetable crops. This work holds significant importance in increasing economic efficiency in agriculture and ensuring the rational use of chemical agents.
