🪰 SIT Program Parameters
About SF24-EC.4006: The 1966 USDA New World Screwworm eradication program achieved a BCR of 8.5:1, protecting an estimated $20B+ in livestock value through 2000 (Graham 1985). This model evaluates your specific program parameters against that historic benchmark and IAEA/FAO SIT guidelines.
