Is Depredation a technical word used to describe agricultural crop damage caused by wildlife?

Answer:

Depredation means :- damage or loss; ravage

So yes, it can be applied to crop damage by wildlife, but it is not a technical word that can only be used to describe this....it can also be used in other ways e.g. :- the old lady's face showed few of the normal depredations of time.
