Sampling systems for the egg stage of the Argentine stem weevil,Listronotus bonariensis(Kuschel), are briefly reviewed. Sampling techniques developed and extensively tested by the authors are described. Taylor's power law analysis was performed on sample mean-variance relationships for eggs per tiller and tillers per soil core. These were used to develop numerical sampling equations. A sampling plan is described for sampling populations of eggs to attain specific levels of precision at different population densities.
