Why so Many Pesticides? 33+%world's food crops lost to pests. Increased urbanization. Insect-borne diseases->people killed or disabled. Annual losses due to pests ~$100 billion. In Ghana,application of insecticides to control one insect increased cocoa production by 3x. One estimate is 12%increase in crop loss if all pesticides banned?????? $1 spent->$4 saved
