3. Introduction The reason for comparison between sampling methods
Sweep-net sampling
D-vac Samples
WPBS (Whole-plant-bag sampling)

4. Sweep-net Sampling The sweep-net Technique Storing Sampling location

5. D-vac sampling What is D-vac? Technique Storing Sampling location
Figure 2: D-vac usage in the field
Figure 3: D-vac dimensions and full-out drawing

7. 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

8. 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
