Striacosta albicosta (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a native pest of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and corn (Zea mays L.). As a result of larval feeding damage on corn ears, S. albicosta has a narrow treatment window; thus, early detection of the pest in the field is essential, and egg mass sampling has become a popular monitoring tool. Three action thresholds for field and sweet corn...

In statistical sampling (probability sampling technique) calculating the probability of getting any particular sample is possible. It is scientific and every element stands an equal chance of being selected. In statistical sampling, workforce, time and money highly l...
