Combined Metarhizium anisopliae and Spinetoram Efficacy Against Frankliniella occidentalis

229.6 MB of raw data supporting research on synergistic pest control. The dataset includes TIF and PNG image files alongside XLSX spreadsheets, published by Lu Yu under a CC0-1.0 license in May 2026. It documents experiments combining a fungal biocontrol agent with a chemical insecticide to suppress western flower thrips.

Use Cases

• Modeling synergistic effects of combined biological and chemical pest control based on experimental results.
• Analyzing fungal infection rates in insect populations under different treatment conditions.
• Studying the mechanisms of chemical resistance weakening in thrips populations.
• Comparing the efficacy of different control strategies against Frankliniella occidentalis.

Strengths

• Dataset is 229.6 MB, indicating a medium-scale collection of raw experimental data.
• Includes multiple file formats (TIF, PNG, XLSX), suggesting a combination of visual and quantitative records.
• Released under a permissive CC0-1.0 license, allowing for unrestricted reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale statistical analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection.
