Experiment code 18.6.3.65
Experiment Title Assessing and interpreting the spatial distributions of insect populations in rice crop in Navsari
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background The analysis of insect spatial population dynamics is an essential foundation for the development of IPM strategies in which insecticide treatments are spatially or temporally targeted to conserve parasitoids and reduce insecticide use.

Research Methodology

Variance Mean Ratio :

If the distribution is random - i.e. can be modeled by the Poisson process
or its multidimensional analogs - then, the VMR is about 1.0. Larger
values (VMR >1.0) correspond to the existence of "clumps" - spatial or temporal clusters

Smaller values (VMR < 1.0) correspond to a
more-uniform-than-random distribution (often named "even",
"uniform") - i.e. mutual "avoidance" of events or objects in time or
space.

2. Exponent K :

3. Oher technique: if found appropriate like Lloyd's indices of mean
crowding (x*) and patchiness index (x * “x)

Observation to be recorded:

Major Insects of rice like Stem borer, rice case worm, horn caterpillar Gandhi bung and others depend on availability in various stages of crops along with standard metrological weeks
