Verifying zero-infestation in pest control: A simple sequential test based on the succession of zero-samples

  • Published:
Researches on Population Ecology

Summary

A simple sequential test based on the succession of ‘zero's or uninfested sampling units is proposed for use in verifying zero-infestation in pest control surveys. The method is applicable efficiently to both finite and infinite populations. Problems concerning its efficiency on application are discussed.
