A Systems Approach to Pest Control Research

Robert P. Jenkins

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1971, vol. 3, issue 1, 143-147

Abstract: Systems analysis would be a useful tool for certain kinds of pesticide research, particularly that involving decisions affecting the environment or the ecosystem. A well-designed systems analysis would permit researchers and policymakers to learn more about the complete effects of their decisions relating to pesticides. It is doubtful whether any one person or group of persons can mentally formulate all the complex effects of a pesticide on the environment, on optimum farm organization and practices, on human welfare, and on the myriad of other interrelated factors.
