In contrast to conventional inputs (land, labor and capital) pesticides and nutrients act indirectly on output. This paper develops a model of pesticide and nutrient response based on the biological and physical processes that govern agricultural ecosystems. The main implications for pesticides are that the marginal returns for an individual crop depend on three state variables (potential yield level, growth conditions and pest incidence) and on the relative curvature of the control and damage functions. The properties of functional forms commonly used in the literature imply increasing returns to the control input which reduces the control decision to a binary one. When several control methods are available, the choice set consists of disc...
