ETL (Economic Threshold Level): The “action threshold.” You apply pesticides or biocontrols here to keep the pest population from growing out of hand.
EIL (Economic Injury Level): The lowest pest population density that will cause actual economic damage. The cost of crop damage at this point equals the cost of managing the pests. ETL is always kept lower than EIL so farmers have a safety margin to respond before losing profits.
