What distinguishes an occasional pest from a severe pest?

Occasional pests are never found above economic thresholds
Severe pests can only cause damage in large numbers
Occasional pests can cause significant damage but only under certain conditions
Severe pests are easier to manage and control

The correct answer is: Occasional pests can cause significant damage but only under certain conditions

An occasional pest can still cause significant damage, but only under certain conditions. This means that they may not always be a threat, which is what distinguishes them from severe pests. Severe pests, on the other hand, are a constant threat and may require more intensive management and control measures. Option A is incorrect because occasional pests can still reach economic thresholds depending on the situation. Option B is incorrect because even in small numbers, severe pests can cause significant damage. Option D is incorrect because severe pests may actually be more difficult to control due to their high numbers and aggressiveness.
