Summary The seasonal and annual fluctuations in a population of the delphacid, Stenocranus minutus ( Fab. ) on Dactylis glomerata L. were studied from March 1968 to September 1970. The study involved the comparison of several sampling methods to estimate the egg, nymphal and adult numbers and an investigation into causes of mortality within each stage. A population budget was made for the years 1969 and 1970.
