Description
Summary:The dispersion pattern of soybean leaf beetle (Phaedonia inclusa Stal.) was analyzed by the use of Iwao's method. Basically larvae, imagoes, and egg's colonies were conta¬giously distributed. They clumped in an area equal to one plant. Intra colony distribu¬tion was random. At high density, the distribution was more compact, with intra colony distribution was also aggregated. At lower density, the distribution loosened, with clump area equal to a quadrat size of eight plants.
