Plant Health Prog. https://doi.org/10.1094/php-01-25-0003-rs. Description of the experiment setting: UC Riverside campus (Riverside, CA 92521), Desert Research and Extension Center (Holtville, CA 92250)Processing methods and equipment used: standard agronomic equipment for bed preparation, spray applications of agrochemicals, and drip irrigation.Study date(s) and duration: August-November 2022, April-July 2023, April-July 2024Study spatial scale (size of replicates and spatial scale of study area): Each experiment was approximately 1 acre squareLevel of true replication: N = 7-12 replicate plots per elicitor x insecticide treatment (full design in each data file).Sampling precision (within-replicate sampling or pseudo replication): 7-9 plants per plotLevel of subsampling (number and repeat or within-replicate sampling): 3 time points per experiment for symptom evaluations, one end point assessment of yield amount and qualityStudy design (before–after, control–impacts, time series, before–after-control–impacts): please see "field design" tab in each data file.Description of any data manipulation, modeling, or statistical analysis undertaken: analysis by repeated measures ANOVA as described in the publication associated with this work, linked above.Description of any gaps in the data or other limiting factors: There are a few missed individual measurements as noted in the data files at relevant locations.Outcome measurement methods and equipment used: noneDescription of the individual files: "2022 DREC field data.xlsx" contains a tab for symptom and plot coverage evaluations and a tab for yield amounts (by maturity rating [slipped or not slipped] and size category) and quality (Brix readings at 20 and 24 degrees C). "2023 DREC field data.xlsx" contains a tab for symptom and plot coverage evaluations, a tab for yield amounts by maturity rating and size category, and a tab for Brix readings. "2023 AG OPS field data.xlsx" contains a tab for symptom and plot coverage evaluations, a tab for yield amounts by maturity rating and size category, and a tab for Brix readings. "2024 AG OPS field data.xlsx" contains a tab for symptom and plot coverage evaluations, a tab for yield amounts by maturity rating and size category, and a tab for Brix readings.
