(2007) observe, since there is little consensus on the proper functional form, “economists must work with agronomists and biologists to arrive at the appropriate functional forms that recognize the underlying biological processes.””
An integrated pest management model with delayed responses to pesticide applications and its threshold dynamics (2012, background): “Therefore, understanding of the key interactions among pest species, natural enemies and pesticides are crucial for IPM strategies [7,8,50,51], and it is important to know how antagonistic pesticides affect the outcomes of pest control measures, and how the short-term or long-term residual effect of”

Quantifying pesticide overuse from farmer and societal points of view: An application to Thailand (2013, unknown): “Conceptual frame In line with previous studies, pesticide overuse is defined as the amount of pesticides used in excess of an economically-defined optimum (Huang et al., 2002; Jah and Regmi, 2009; Qaim and De Janvry, 2005; Sexton et al., 2007).”
