Summary:The principal terms used in pest control are discussed: the agrosystem, tolerance to pest damage (economic damage level and the economic threshold) and the general point of equilibrium (av population density of an insect).

None of these methods alone is sufficient to control pests; complementation or integrated control is recommended. (CIAT)
