Introduction The reason for comparison between sampling methods Sweep-net sampling D-vac Samples WPBS (Whole-plant-bag sampling)
Sweep-net Sampling The sweep-net Technique Storing Sampling location Figure 1: A single stroke with a sweep-net http://ipm.ncsu.edu/soybeans/Scouting_Soybeans/Soybean_images/fig15.jpg
D-vac sampling What is D-vac? Technique Storing Sampling location Figure 2: D-vac usage in the field http://eorganic.info/sites/eorganic.info/files/u461/elliott%20with%20Dvac.jpg Figure 3: D-vac dimensions and full-out drawing http://www.rinconvitova.com/images/dvac%20model%20122.gif
WPBS Description of the bag Technique of the whole-plant-bag sampling Sampling location Figure 4: Berlese funnel http://www.amnh.org/learn/biodiversity_counts/read_select/ht/berlesefunnel.gif
Results Influence of nature upon sampling methods Efficiency between samples Reference: Byerly et al - A comparison of sampling methods for some arthropod population in cotton
Conclusion Every sampling method has its pros and its cons Every sampling method has its own preferable location, time and storing method The field has to be taken into consideration before sampling Some sampling methods can be more efficient then others depending on the field
