Damage can either be identified as a direct yield reduction or a reduction in quality or increase in contamination. In some cases, e.g., rats in bananas, it can lead to human health issues. Horticultural production by small holder and commercial producers is important as a source of food for domestic consumption and of export earnings for the country. Pesticide use is poorly controlled and inefficient and could pose a hazard to the producer and consumer. unacceptable pesticide residue levels also risk rejection of exported crops and could reduce future access to export markets. It is most likely that most of the information is available in this book itself, as pest of some other crop.
