Geographical Sampling Concepts and Techniques for Cotton Pest Management - Basic and Intermediate Concepts |
|||
| Adopting a geographical perspective reduces the sampling time for several cotton pests (including tarnished plant bugs) without loss of accuracy. Reasons why site-specific thresholds use sample extremes instead of sample averages are discussed. A simple technique to graph geographical trends based on sample extremes is demonstrated. Building a site-specific cotton pesticide application map to reduce control costs is illustrated using field counts. Also shown is how a blanket application is also a site-specific application. | |||
