DEVELOPING A SAMPLING PLAN FOR SUGARCANE APHID IN
SORGHUMJessica C. Pavlu1, Kris L. Giles1, Ali A. Zarrabi1, Norman C. Elliott2 and Tom A. Royer1 1Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, Stillwater, OK2USDA ARS, Stillwater, OK

FILLING THE GAP There is still no researched based, time
efficient, user-friendly sampling system of SCA that determines density and rapidly evaluates if the treatment threshold has been met. Necessary for early detection and effective
management of this aphid. Can include information on beneficials and
allow for sustainable multifaceted management approaches.
Smith, 2015
THE APPROACH Multi-state collaboration expanding the
work of Brewer et. al (2014) Oklahoma (Elliott, Giles, Zarrabi and Royer) Texas (Bowling and Knutson) Kansas (McCornack) Louisiana (Brown) Arkansas (Seiter)
Brewer et. al (2014)
THE APPROACH Characterize seasonal within field and
within plant distribution of SCA in sorghum. Develop sequential and binomial sampling
protocols for SCA in sorghum. Validate sampling protocol using natural
infestations. Use protocol to develop and deliver a
research-based, dynamic, user-friendly decision making tool for SCA management.
