Monitoring and Decision Tools

摘要: Insect monitoring is an important component of pest management. Economic losses due to insects and unnecessary management expenses can be avoided using insect decision-making tools such as economic thresholds, predictive models, expert systems determine the best time suppress populations. Research on in developing a successful integrated (IPM) program research methods for suppressing Better timing suppression improve cost-effectiveness much better Other chapters this book discuss advantages disadvantages different This chapter focuses determining Establishing threshold infestation level at which population prevents because estimation actual density or damage more consuming expensive than classifying populations their (Subramanyam et al. 1997). Models forecasting from grain temperature moisture used predict (Hagstrum 1994). Expert developed stored-product pests (Flinn Hagstrum 1990a, Longstaff 1997) use computer simulation models help make informed decision.
