Abstract
The need for rapid yet reliable sampling methods for insect pests becomes more apparent as emphasis on implementation of pest management programs increases. Design of a sampling program in which allocation of sampling resources and cost are considered is one of the first and most important steps in developing effective control strategies. The soybean producer must decide, or have someone decide for him, whether soybean pests are present in sufficient numbers to justify the expense of specific management tactics (e.g., insecticide application). Also, assessment of the densities of the naturally occurring biological control agents is becoming more important in the decision-making processes.
