Some crops have a high demand elasticity, for instance, a slight fall in price leads to a high increase in demand. For such crops, pest control to increase productivity will be worthwhile. Crops which have a low demand elasticity, however, requires serious consideration before pest-control measures are applied to increase productivity
Lack of knowledge in elasticity matrix led me not apply pest control measures on my butternut on time. This made me to miss high demand revenue toward the end of 2024.
However, January 6, 2025, when public participation on genetically modified organisms [GMOs] BT maize ends and Kenyans give nod. For it open door for other crops also, hence solve elasticity uncertainty for GMOs will pest resistance.
