Abstract
The use of population estimates of previous season's adults, eggs, and small nymphs to predict the population size of the damaging stages of the black field cricket, Teleogryllus commodus (Walker), are discussed using examples from a number of Northland sites over 2 seasons. Monitoring of black field cricket populations over the summer damage period is suggested as a means of determining whether control measures are necessary.Keywords
