Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciAbstractBACKGROUNDEfficacy of insecticides is often determined from apparent yield loses due to a target pest. However, pests can affect yields even when controls work as expected. Further, most pest populations are monitored through adult counts without procedures to assess dynamics of immature stages.
