Other claims from this paper (11)
- Method / resource Slopes of relative as a function of absolute densities were not different between years for most taxa in cotton.
- Method / resource Drop-cloth estimates were generally more precise than 10-sweep samples of the sweep net and captured a larger percentage of arthropods.
- Method / resource Reasonably precise relationships (R2> 0.50) of relative over absolute density were obtained for Geocoris spp. nymphs.
- Method / resource Reasonably precise relationships (R2> 0.50) of relative over absolute density were obtained for Lygus lineolaris nymphs.
- Method / resource Reasonably precise relationships (R2> 0.50) of relative over absolute density were obtained for Orius spp. nymphs.
- Method / resource Reasonably precise relationships (R2> 0.50) of relative over absolute density were obtained for Orius spp. adults.
- Method / resource Reasonably precise relationships (R2> 0.50) of relative over absolute density were obtained for spiders.
- Method / resource Relationships using total predator counts had greater precision than those using individual species and stages.
- Method / resource Adults of Geocoris spp. were not estimated with precision by drop-cloth or sweep-net samples.
- Method / resource Adults of Coccinellidae were not estimated with precision by drop-cloth or sweep-net samples.
- Method / resource Adults of Lygus lineolaris were possibly not estimated with precision by drop-cloth or sweep-net samples.
