Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Mulch did not significantly change beetle adult or egg-mass counts.
- Intervention effect Asana reduced beetle adults and egg masses relative to Mtrak and untreated plots.
- Intervention effect Mulch significantly reduced small and large beetle larvae.
- Intervention effect Asana significantly reduced small and large beetle larvae relative to M-trak or untreated plots.
- Intervention effect M-trak significantly reduced large beetle larvae relative to untreated plots.
- Intervention effect Asana significantly reduced potato defoliation relative to M-trak or untreated plots.
- Association Mulch plus M-trak had a significant interaction.
- Intervention effect Mulch plus M-trak produced low large-larva counts comparable to Asana.
- Intervention effect Mulch plus M-trak produced potato defoliation as low as Asana.
- Intervention effect Mulch plus M-trak produced potato yields as low as Asana.
- Observation M-trak had its greatest effect on first-instar and neonate beetles.
- Intervention effect M-trak did not affect natural enemies.
