Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Upper crown leaves gave the most accurate density estimates with limited foliole sampling.
- Association Accuracy decreased from upper to lower leaves as larval proportions became more variable.
- Recommendation Sampling 160 folioles on leaf 17 may balance cost, reliability and assessment of multiple defoliators.
- Method / resource Sampling one palm per hectare gave reasonably accurate estimates of larval density per area.
- Recommendation The one-palm-per-hectare sample size should not be a general recommendation until density effects are investigated.
