Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect At the 25 mites/leaf threshold, leaf damage was significantly lower than at a higher mite level with calendar sprays.
- Intervention effect At the 25 mites/leaf threshold, yield levels were significantly higher than at a higher mite level with calendar sprays.
- Observation The mite density threshold causing laboratory physiological and biochemical changes basically coincided with the threshold causing significant field yield loss.
- Recommendation The authors conclude the optimum threshold for acaricide spray against T. urticae on cassava is 25 mites/leaf.
