This team chose to design an investigation to determine the effectiveness of a commercial horticultural product vs. a DIY home remedy for ridding one of our large classroom plant specimens from an infestation of brown soft scale insects. Their strategy for keeping track of the amount of 'honeydew' product dropping from the infested and treated leaves was a most creative way of indirectly quantifying the amount of scale activity occurring on various parts of the plant.
