Large-scale monitoring programmes often make inferences about insect abundance based on count data collected using some probability-based sampling technique.

Uncategorized

Researchers and regulatory agencies often make statistical inferences from insect count data using modelling approaches that assume homogeneous variance.

Fertilisation

Recent studies show that soil animal count data are characterized by the presence of excess zeros and overdispersion, which violate the assumptions of standard statistical tests.

Pest/disease control

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been a fundamental method used for analysis of abundance and incidence data.

The impacts of climate change on resource-poor farmers are especially severe and include increased challenges with food security and food safety.

Pest/disease control

J’he Global Environment Facility (GEF) with implementation support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) funded the project GFL/2711·01-4345 focusing on “Conservation of Gramineae and Associated Arthropods for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Africa”.

Pest/disease control

The lepidopteron stemborer (Chilo partellus) and parasitic Striga weed (Striga hermonthica) caused major yield losses in subsistence sorghum production in the Eastern Amhara Region, Ethiopia.

Striga weeds

Striga or 'witchweeds' are parasitic weeds that affect cereal crops in many parts of Africa, reducing production from 30 to 100%, or complete loss of the crop. If maize plants are attacked by both stemborers and striga weed, the yield... Continue Reading…
