SOCIETY OF NEMATOLOGISTS CROP LOSS ESTIMATES APPLIED TO CALIFORNIA CROPS:

CROP ESTIMATED % LOSS ACRES FARM $ VALUE $ LOSS
FIELD CROPS 6 1,091,166 2,791,345,185 307,047,970
FRUITS & NUTS 12 1,883,204 4,026,765,267 483,211,832
VEGETABLES 11 6,402,613 2,947,240,705 176,834,442
ORNAMENTALS 10   1,185,878,000 118,587,800
TOTAL       1,085,682,045
         
TOTAL CALIFORNIA CASH FARM VALUE = $16,838,870,235        

In the 1970's, the Society of Nematologists developed these crop loss estimates for the U.S.

In this example, the nationwide crop loss estimates for the four crops studied have been applied to California yearly farm gate values provided by Agricultural Commissioners.
