close to significanceP = 0.07
Of the 21 blocks/seasons analyzed, 9 blocks were found to have a positive relationship ( P = 0.05 or less) between the total fruit of the trees and their codling moth larval entries; analyses of another 5 blocks were close to significance ( P = 0.07–0.12), leaving 7 in which fruit numbers per tree and the codling moth population were independent.
