Weed, Trap Crop, Refuge

One Field-Margin Plant on an Experiment Station's Pest-Record Cards, 1948–1996

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement reads the 412 cards naming one field-margin crucifer in an experiment station's entomology card index, 1948 to 1996. The plant's recorded status turns from weed to trap crop to refuge, each time in the seasons after a programme review, while the three insects entered on its cards, a parasitoid among them from the first year, hold their share throughout.
