A review of the literature points out the distinct need for more multidisciplinary work in developing economic thresholds for diseases, weeds, and insect pests in crops. Further work needs to be conducted to make current technological pest management information applicable and understandable at the farm level. Examples of successful uses of a variety of threshold models are presented.
