What defines the economic injury level?

The lowest point of pest population density
The pest population density that causes losses equal to the cost of the control measures
The highest point of pest population before control measures are taken
The level of pest damage that is considered acceptable before taking action

The correct answer is: The pest population density that causes losses equal to the cost of the control measures

The economic injury level is defined as the pest population density at which the economic losses caused by the pest equal the cost of controlling the pest. In other words, it is the threshold at which it becomes financially justifiable to implement control measures to manage the pest population. This concept helps in making informed decisions about when to take action to prevent excessive economic damage while avoiding unnecessary and potentially costly control measures. The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the economic injury level.
