Our data produced an unexpected trend between the level of pest damage and the push–pull effects, with overall infestation rates of 14% indicating no significant effect, 32% revealing a marginally significant effect, and 71% exhibiting a highly significant effect ( Figure 3 , Table 3 ).
Statistical significance was considered at α = 0.05, though marginal significance was considered at α = 0.1, and a result was considered highly significant at α = 0.01. 3.2.
Statistical significance was considered at α = 0.05, though marginal significance was considered at α = 0.1, and a result was considered highly significant at α = 0.01. 3.2.
Given the marginally significant effect of treatment on the extent of infestation in the 2022 MD field test, we conducted the 2023 field tests using 300% more MB dispensers and 50% more traps to determine if a greater amount of push and pull stimuli could further reduce SWD infestation.
