Diptera: Soil eklektor data for some families of Diptera

In BSagri: Safety Assessment in Agricultural Field Trials

Description

Hatching of some families of Diptera was recorded in summer 2005 using eklektors covering 2 square meters of soil surface each. A total of 32 eklektors were arranged in a randomized field trial. Total counts of individuals over the whole season are reported. Aim was to assess the impact of a novel treatment on the abundance of Diptera with larval development in the soil, compared to three standard treatments.

Usage

Format

A data frame with 32 observations on the following 7 variables.

Callip
