Rod A. Herman Journal of Economic Entomology 1989. doi:10.1093/jee/82.6.1836
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource The assay reliably indexed foliage damage caused by Spodoptera eridania.
- Method / resource The assay reliably indexed foliage damage caused by Empoasca abrupta.
- Method / resource Assay results correlated well with leaf dry-weight measurements and visual leaf damage estimates.
- Method / resource Malathion dose-response tests with S. eridania larvae indicated that the assay can evaluate chemicals for plant protection from insect damage.
- Recommendation The authors suggest adapting the assay to herbicide, air pollutant, or disease damage.
