Sampling and Monitoring in Crop Protection: The Theoretical Basis for Designing Practical Decision Guides / Edition 1

by CABI

Overview

This book covers the statistical concepts of sampling in agricultural pest management. These can be summarized as how to obtain sample data from the field and how to use the data in decision-making. Options may include introducing natural enemies, spraying with pesticide, or adopting a wait-and-see approach. Some prior knowledge of pests and how they interact with crops is required of the reader, but only minimal mathematical background is assumed. Worked examples using Mathcad are included in the book.
