Pest control
Sampling and Monitoring in Crop Protection
The Theoretical Basis for Designing Practical Decision Guides
by Michael R Binns, Jan P Nyrop, Wopke van der Werf
Description
This book covers the statistical concepts of sampling in agricultural pest management. These can be summarised 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 the mathematical software program Mathcad are also included.
