Appendix H. Figure showing the nonlinear relationship between aphid abundance and soybean yield in 2011 and 2012.
Fig. H1. Nonlinear relationship between aphid abundance and soybean yield in 2011 (gray) and 2012 (black). Points represent mean abundance of soybean aphids (or yield) per site in open (open circles) and closed (filled circles) cages. y = -3.098x2 + 13.72x + 9.0062; P linear = 0.01, P polynomial << 0.01, Fmodel = 13.55, df = 2,109; P <<0.01.
