Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., bolls were sampled in commercial fields for stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) injury during 2007 and 2008 in South Carolina and Georgia. Across both years of this study, boll-injury percentages averaged 14.8 +/- 0.3 (SEM). At average boll injury treatment levels of 10, 20, 30, and 50%, the percentage of samples with at least one injured boll was 82, 97, 100, and 100%, respectively. Percentage of field-sampling date combinations with average injury < 10, 20, 30, and 50% was 35, 80, 95, and 99%, respectively. At the average of 14.8% boll injury or 2.9 injured bolls per 20-boll sample, 112 samples at Dx = 0.1 (within 10% of the mean) were required for population estimation, compared with only 15 samples at Dx = 0.3. Using a sample size of 20 bolls, our study indicated that, at the 10% threshold and alpha = beta = 0.2 (with 80% confidence), control was not needed when <1.03 bolls were injured. The sampling plan required continued sampling for a range of 1.03-3.8 injured bolls per 20-boll sample. Only when injury was > 3.8 injured bolls per 20-boll sample was a control measure needed. Sequential sampling plans were also determined for thresholds of 20, 30, and 50% injured bolls. Sample sizes for sequential sampling plans were significantly reduced when compared with a fixed sampling plan (n=10) for all thresholds and error rates.
棉花,陆地棉,棉铃在 2007 年和 2008 年在南卡罗来纳州和佐治亚州的商业领域进行了采样,以评估臭虫(半翅目:盲蝽科)的伤害。在这项研究的两年中,棉铃损伤率平均为 14.8%±0.3(标准误差)。在平均棉铃损伤处理水平为 10%、20%、30%和 50%时,至少有一个受损棉铃的样本百分比分别为 82%、97%、100%和 100%。平均损伤<10%、20%、30%和 50%的田间采样日期组合的百分比分别为 35%、80%、95%和 99%。在平均 14.8%的棉铃损伤或每 20 个棉铃样本中有 2.9 个受损棉铃的情况下,需要 112 个样本(Dx=0.1(在平均值的 10%以内))进行种群估计,而 Dx=0.3 时只需要 15 个样本。使用 20 个棉铃的样本量,我们的研究表明,在 10%的阈值和 alpha=beta=0.2(80%置信区间)下,当<1.03 个棉铃受损时,不需要进行控制。抽样计划需要继续对每 20 个棉铃样本中 1.03-3.8 个受损棉铃进行抽样。只有当每 20 个棉铃样本中受损棉铃>3.8 个时,才需要采取控制措施。还确定了 20%、30%和 50%受损棉铃阈值的序贯抽样计划。与所有阈值和误差率的固定抽样计划(n=10)相比,序贯抽样计划的样本量显著减少。
