Description

Book Synopsis
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.

Table of Contents
1: Basic concepts of decision-making in pest management 2: Basic concepts of sampling for pest management 3: Classifying pest density 4: Distributions 5: Sequential sampling for classification 6: Enhancing and evaluating the usefulness of sampling plans 7: Binomial counts 8: Multiple sources of variation 9: Resampling to evaluate the properties of sampling plans 10: Sampling over time to classify or estimate a population growth curve 11: Monitoring pest populations through time
