<p>Description of larval collections from C-strain (corn, sorghum, cotton) and R-strain (t

A dataset describing larval collections from C-strain (corn, sorghum, cotton) and R-strain (turf grasses, pasture grasses, rice, millet, alfalfa) host plants. The data is used for amplifying identified Z-chromosome strain markers and was authored by Rodney N. Nagoshi. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file last updated on June 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Identifying genetic markers for pest strain differentiation based on host plant associations.
• Analyzing the relationship between pest strains (C and R) and their preferred host plant groups.
• Supporting research on agricultural pest management strategies by linking larvae to specific crops and grasses.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description is brief and lacks details on collection methodology or sample size.
