Abstract
Manual calculations of yield loss from pest infestations are complicated and time consuming. The CottASSIST Aphid Yield Loss Estimator allows the user to enter current Aphid samples to estimate a rate of pest increase and the potential effect on yield. This allows crop managers to ‘look ahead’ to decide on control options or if natural enemy populations are providing sufficient control.
