When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 333-339, April 2026.ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...
