Action threshold development in cabbage pest management using synthetic and botanical insecticides (2020)
Journal Article
Shah, F. M., Razaq, M., Ali, Q., Ali, A., Shad, S. A., Aslam, M., & Hardy, I. C. W. (2020). Action threshold development in cabbage pest management using synthetic and botanical insecticides. Entomologia Generalis, 40(2), 157-172. https://doi.org/10.1127/entomologia/2020/0904

As synthetic insecticides can have environmentally detrimental side effects, it is desirable to limit their use while still achieving good marketable yield. One approach is to apply pesticides only when needed, as determined by an action threshold (A...
