débits optimaux


Explanation:
Si l'on parle de "optimal output for control of pests", je doute qu'il s'agisse de rendements agricoles, mais plutôt de quantité de pesticide dans les couches supérieures du sol.

"output n.
The amount produced, ejected, or excreted by an entity during a specified time."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/output

"Output" utilisé dans ce sens sur cette video

"That is some serious output. I'm sure you are putting down at least 30 gallons on a house "

Notes to answerer
Asker: Voici un peu plus de contexte (la phrase d'avant): Non-ionizing microwave irradiation studies in the laboratory will determine time-temperature-power relationships and demonstrate the effect of rapid heating on mortality of insect pests found in the field.
