Decision-making reliability is crucial
Credibility of IPM depends on decisions being
correct
Decisions have to be made with imperfect
information & much of the imperfection is in
monitoring data
Every decision has a risk of being wrong
Lesson: We must understand how frequently our
decisions are incorrect and if there is a bias for
overcontrol or undercontrol in our mistakes.

Decision-making reliability is crucial

  • Credibility of IPM depends on decisions being

correct

  • Decisions have to be made with imperfect

information & much of the imperfection is in

monitoring data

  • Every decision has a risk of being wrong
  • Lesson: We must understand how frequently our

decisions are incorrect and if there is a bias for

overcontrol or undercontrol in our mistakes.

Reliability Depends on Several

Factors

  • Specific species being monitored
  • Sites (site selection is important)
  • Specific technique being used
  • Number of samples taken
    • Number at each site & number of sites
  • Weather
  • Observer (Scout) – Scout training is emphasized
  • Other minor effects:
    • Field size, location, & aspect
    • Time of day (pests with diurnal activity)
    • Field history
