Beat Sheet Sampling with Hugh Brier
Hugh Brier describes the need for beat sheet sampling in crop to identify insect pests. First you need to do a cursory inspection and look for what stage the crop is at. But to estimate the number of insects you need to sample at least 5-6 sites with 4-5 samples per site. The reason is because insects are not uniformly distributed across your crop. They tend to occur in hot-spots. Finally you need to know how to identify which insects are actually pests. This presentation by Hugh Brier (Senior Entomologist, QDPI) was part of a Soybean & Pulse IPM training course provided to growers by AOF, Pulse Australia and GRDC.
