A review on biological interactions and management of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (2021, background): “…damage reports from Brazil for the first crop season (2012/2013) after the establishment of H. armigera in this country reached approximately $0.8 billion (de Freitas Bueno and Sosa- Gómez 2014), or approximately 5% of the total crop loss from insect pests in this country (Oliveira et al., 2014).”
Deep Learning for Classification and Severity Estimation of Coffee Leaf Biotic Stress (2019, background): “The indiscriminate use of pesticides leads to economic losses related to their purchase and application, expenses related to medical treatment for intoxicated persons and damages caused by environmental contamination (Oliveira et al., 2014).”
Pesticide-Induced Stress in Arthropod Pests for Optimized Integrated Pest Management Programs. (2016, background): “This long-term impact is not a characteristic of pesticide persistence but rather of persistent or continuous pesticide use, which has been a prevailing trait of the use pattern of such compounds, mainly in warmer climates (43, 105, 117).”
Assessment of yield and economic losses in agriculture due to weeds in India (2018, methodology): “Oliveira et al. (2014) also presented that insect, pests cause an average annual production loss of 7.7% in Brazil, which is a reduction of approximately 25 million tonnes of food, fibre and biofuels.”
