This study aims to develop a sequential sampling plan for controlling the population of C. capitata in guava orchards. By randomly installing McPhail traps and conducting continuous monitoring, an unprecedented sequential sampling plan has been generated, which can facilitate rapid and safe decision-making for fruit farmers.
This study aimed to elaborate a sequential sampling plan for C. capitata in commercial orchards of guava. 90 McPhail traps were randomly installed in three guava orchards in a transverse direction for 23 weeks. The data were submitted to sequential probability ratio test. Adopted the average of 0.3 C. capitata for the level of security and 0.7 for the control action. In this sequential sampling plan was defined the average number of 0.40 adults of C. capitata for each trap McPhail (sample). The sequential plan generated is unprecedented and will contribute to the rapid and safe decision making in the control of C. capitata population in guava farming.
