متن کاملImproving IPM decisions for the management of diamondback moth on cabbages using sequential sampling plan
A sequential sampling plan, based on the negative binomial distribution of the insect, was developed for use in the IPM of diamondback moth (DBM) (Plutella xylostella L.) in Malaysia. The value of the common k (=1.84) was calculated from weekly sampling of 60 plants selected randomly from cabbages grown without the use of insecticides. Two sets of sequential sampling lines, representing two act...
