Accurate sampling of arthropod populations in California cotton is essential to the development of integrated pest management strategies. The accuracy of the two commonly used relative sampling methods (i.e., D-vac and sweepnet) is compared to a new, more accurate whole-plant-bag sampling method (WPBS). A decision rule for WPBS is also reported.
