Question

in ipm, what level of pest damage is usually considered acceptable?
below 1%
up to 100%
above 90%
below 10%

Explanation:

In Integrated Pest Management (IPM), the goal is not to eliminate pests entirely but to manage them to an acceptable level where economic or aesthetic damage is minimized. Typically, a pest damage level below 10% is considered acceptable as it balances control efforts with ecological and economic factors. The other options (below 1%, up to 100%, above 90%) are not in line with IPM principles: below 1% is overly strict, and the higher percentages represent severe damage that is not acceptable.

Answer:

below 10%
