Authors: Dively Galen P. , Linduska James J. , Ross Marylee , Mulford Karen , Baumann Donna 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The experimental design was a RCB design with eight replications and 4 treatments. Drenching doses were 0, 0.38, 1.5, and 6.0 ounces ; of Admire 2F per acre. At transplanting, before the root ball was covered with soil, the drench was applied as a simulated transplant water treatment of 8 oz diluted volume per plant. Plot size for each treatment was one row 20 feet long (8 eggplants) with rows spaced 72 inches apart. Plots were planted 3 ; Jul. After transplanting, weekly counts were made of egg clusters, early larvae (first/second instars), late larvae (third/fourth instars), live and dead adults, i percent defoliation and percent stand loss. Plots were not harvested to remove fruit; instead the number of marketable fruit was counted once on 9 Sep.

Authors: Palumbo J. C. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Lettuce was direct seeded into double-row beds on 1 Sep at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ. Each plot consisted of four, 30 ft long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bordered on each side by two untreated beds. Plots were arranged in a CRB design with 4 replicates. Foliar applications were made on 8 and 14 Oct with a hand-held CO2 sprayer operated at 50psi, delivering 20 gpa. Spreader-sticker (Kinetic) was included in all spray treatments at a rate of 0.125% of the total volume. Insecticide efficacy was determined by counting the total number of small (1st and 2nd instars) and large (&gt;2nd instar) BAW and CI larvae on 6 randomly selected lettuce plants per replicate. Evaluations were made on 8, 10, 13, and 19 Oct. Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test to distinguish treatment mean differences.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Chile pepper transplants were planted in a commercial production field near Hinton, OK in May. Planting beds were on 30 inch centers with 10 inches between plants in rows. A RCB design with 4 replicates and 5 treatments was used in the experiment. Plots were 3 rows wide by 20 ft long. Insecticides were applied to 2 of the 3 rows in each plot with either a bicycle tire mounted sprayer (34 gpa at 40 psi) or a backpack sprayer (40 gpa at 40 psi), each equipped with 4 hollow cone nozzles on the sprayer boom. Insecticides were applied to plots on 10 and 16 Jul, 7 Aug, and 6 Sep. Surveys to determine insect pest abundance were made on 22 May and 6 Sep by examining all plant material in a 39 inch area of a row in the middle of each plot. Five plants were removed from the middle of each plot on 3 Oct and taken to the lab where all fruit was removed and dried prior to weighing to determine yield for each plot.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Potatoes were planted 21 May at the University of Minnesota Agricultural experiment Station, Rosemount, MN. Plant spacing was 36 inches between rows and 12 inches between plants within rows. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replications. Plots consisted of a single 12 ft long treatment row. Treated rows were separated by one row of untreated plants. Admire 2F was applied over the top of the potato pieces just before the furrows were covered. Foliar treatments were applied with a CO2 pressurized sprayer fitted with a Teejet 8003-E flat fan nozzle, delivering 60 gpa at 35 psi. For evaluating the treatments, the numbers of small (instar 1-2) and large (instar 3–4) CPB larvae in each plot were recorded. Pre-treatment counts and foliar applications were made 11 Jul. Post-treatment counts of larvae were made 1 d after application. Percent control of CPB was calculated as (1-(post-treatment count/pre-treatment count))X 100. The data were subjected to ANOVA after arcsinV(x) transformation.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
This trial was located in a non-irrigated commercial potato field in the southern Red River Valley of the North. Plant spacing was 36 inches between rows and 12 inches between plants within rows. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design with 3 replications. Plots consisted of a single treatment row. Treated rows were separated by a row of untreated plants. For evaluating the treatments and determining plot size, counts of CPB larvae in each plot were recorded. Plots were of variable length (approximately 15-20 feet). The number of plants constituting a plot was determined on the basis of pre-treatment counts of CPB larvae so that plots averaged approximately 175 larvae, including small (instar 1-2) and large (instar 3^1) larvae. Small larvae predominated in the population (mean pre-treatment counts per plot: 138 small, 38 large). Treatments were applied with a CO2pressurized sprayer fitted with a Teejet 8O03-E fiat fan nozzle, delivering 60 gpa at 35 psi. Pre-treatment counts and folaii applications were made 14 Jul. Post-treatment counts of larvae were made 1 d after application. Percent control was calculated as (1-(post-treatment count/pre-treatment count)) X100. The data were subjected to ANOVA after arcsinV(x) transformation.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Experimental plots were established on the UI Research and Extension Center, Kimberly, Idaho. Potatoes were planted on 25 Apr and irrigated by solid set sprinkler. The soil type was Portneuf silt loam. Six treatments and one untreated check plot were replicated four times in a RCB design. Individual treatment plots were 4 rows (36 inch row spacing) wide by 25 ft long with 5-ft alleyways separating the plots. GPA was mass reared on greenhouse sweet pepper plants (‘California Wonder’) for release into individual plots. Aphid releases were made into test plots on 27 Jun and again on 8 Jul. A total of four heavily infested plants were released per plot. Treatment sprays were broadcast applied using a CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer (30 psi) and delivering 20 gpa finished S (four, 10X hollow cone nozzles). Aphid counts were made from non-destructively sampled leaves at random from the top, middle and bottom sections of plants in the center two rows of each plot. The data collected and presented are the total no. of aphids per 20 leaves. On 5 Jul, pre-treatment count was taken at which time it was determined that aphid populations were too low to treat. On 10 Jul, a second pre-treatment count was made and all treatments were applied 11 Jul. All plots received applications of Carbaryl as needed to control Colorado potato beetle. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Newman-Keuls multiple means comparison (P = .05).

Abstract
The experimental design was a split plot design with four randomized blocks. Two timings of drench treatments (1 and 7 days prior to transplanting) were arranged as whole plots and two tray sizes (72 and 288 cells/tray) were designated as sub-plots. Untreated plots of plants were paired with treated plants of same tray size. Treated plants received a drench dose of 2.0 oz/acre rate applied to individual cells of bedding trays using a pipetted volume of 1.0 ml per plant. Plot size was one row of ‘Peto 696’ tomatoes 20 feet long (20 tomato plants) with rows spaced 64 inches apart. Plots were planted 14 May. After transplanting, weekly counts were made of egg clusters, larvae (all instars), and live and dead adults. Peak defoliation caused by the first generation was assessed on 2 Jul. Plots were harvested on 9 Aug.
Evaluation of Biorational Pesticides for Management of the Silverleaf Whitefly on Fresh Market Tomatoes, Spring 1994

Published: December 2017

Abstract
On 10 Mar, transplants were set 18 inches apart on raised beds of Eau Gallie fine sand covered with black polyethylene mulch. Plots consisted of three 21-ft long rows on 5-ft centers. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a RCB design and were applied with a tractor-pulled sprayer on 24, 31 Mar, 7, 14, 21, 28 Apr, 5, 12, 19, 24 May and 1 Jun. Each product was applied at 200 psi using yellow Albuz™ ceramic nozzles and at 400 psi using brown Albuz™ ceramic nozzles. As the plants grew, the number of nozzles per row was increased in order to increase gallonage. Thus, 60 gpa were applied the first five sprays (four nozzles), 90 gpa the next three sprays (six nozzles) and 120 gpa for the remaining three sprays (eight nozzles). The terminal leaflet was collected from the 7th or 8th leaf (counting from the top) of each of 10 stems from the middle row of each plot on 25 Apr, 25 May and 10 Jun. The numbers of eggs, crawlers, sessile nymphs and pupae of the silverleaf whitefly (SLWF) were counted on the whole leaflets for the first two evaluations and on a single 2 cm2 disk per leaflet on the last evaluation. All counts were converted to an area basis for analyses. The numbers of leafmines and leafrolls of the tomato pinworm (TPW) were counted by two persons during a 1 min search of the middle row of each plot. Counts of both persons were totalled for analyses. Fruit of marketable size were harvested on 27 May and 8 Jun. They were separated into non-damaged and insect-damaged categories, counted and weighed.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Various acaricide and insecticide treatments were applied to single-tree plots in a randomized block design consisting of 4 replicates of spur-type ‘Delicious’ trees. The trees were planted at a spacing of 20 x 30 ft and were 12 years old. All treatments were applied with a Myers Mity Mist sprayer calibrated to deliver 100 gpa driven at 2 mph. All plots received a regular maintenance schedule of fungicides (Nova 40WP, Penncozeb 80WP, Topsin 85DF and Ziram 76WP) and nutrients (CaCl). Post-bloom insecticides (Imidan 70WP) were applied as needed at 1- to 2-week intervals beginning at petal fall in early May. The effect of the sprays on WALH was evaluated by counting the number of nymphs/25 injured leaves/tree. Effects of the treatments on ERM, TSSM, AF and ZM was evaluated by counting the mites at approximately weekly intervals during the season on samples of 25 leaves/tree, 100 leaves/treatment. STLM were evaluated by a 5-min count of tissue-feeding mines around the periphery of the trees at the end of each generation but before peak emergence of the next generation adults. Only mines on spur leaves were counted on 7 Jun, while only mines in shoot leaves were counted on 17 Jul and 12 Sep. Pest pressure was moderate.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Planting and first-cultivation time insecticide trials were conducted at Clay Center, NE, to evaluate their effectiveness for larval corn rootworm control. Local population consisted of &gt;95% WCR and &lt;5% NCR. All plots were insecticide free from 1993-95. In 1995, plots were planted in trap crop. In 1992, Force 1.5G at 1.2 lb (AI)/acre was applied to all plots. Lorsban 15G at 1.21b (AI)/acre was applied to all plots in 1990 and 1991. The experimental design was a RCB with four replicates. Each treatment replicate consisted of a single row 30 ft long with a 30-inch row spacing. Soil type was a Crete silt loam with a 0-1% slope. All plots were planted on 21 May. Soil temperature at 2 inches was 78° F. Soil moisture at 0-2 inches was 13.2% and 16.5% at 2—4 inches using the gravimetric method. Granular insecticides were applied using 10 inch Almaco smooth belt cones mounted in place of insecticide boxes on a 2-row John Deere 7100 plateless planter. Preweighted amounts of insecticide granules were distributed uniformly around the belt cone by a divider funnel and either directed into the open seed furrow (IF) or a 7-inch band in front of the press wheel and over the open seed furrow and incorporated with a drag rake (TB). A CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer mounted on the planter was used to apply liquid insecticides. A TeeJet #250017 nozzle positioned between the disc openers was used to direct an in-furrow spray of 1.5 gpa at 14.5 psi (LP). On 10 Jun, initial corn rootworm egg hatch was detected and stand counts were taken. First-cultivation time treatments were applied on 17 Jun. Soil temperature at 2 inches was 76-78° F. A mason jar with holes in the lid was used to apply granular insecticides at first-cultivation. Granules were applied basally by shaking the mason jar and immediately incorporated with a garden rake (GC). A CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer with an output of 20 gpa at 30 psi was used to apply liquid insecticides at first-cultivation. Liquid insecticides were broadcast over the top of the plant whorl and insecticide reaching the soil surface was immediately incorporated with a garden rake (LC). Plots were cultivated on 20 Jun. Larval feeding damage was evaluated on 16-17 Jul. Five plants were dug from each treatment replicate and rated using the Iowa 1-6 scale (1, no feeding, to 6, 3 or more nodes of roots completely destroyed). Data were analyzed by ANOVA for RCB with mean separation using DMRT.
Evaluation of Insecticides for Control of Larval European Corn Borer on Whorl Stage Corn, 1996

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Experimental and labelled insecticides were evaluated for efficacy against larval ECB in whorl stage field corn in two fields near Clay Center, NE. Field 1 was planted with ‘Pioneer 3417IR’ hybrid on 21 May and Field 2 with ‘Pioneer 3162’ hybrid on 20 Apr, using a 2-row John Deere 7100 planter. Experimental design was a RCB with four replicates. Each plot consisted of a single row, 30 ft long with a 30-inch row spacing. Granular insecticides were applied using two 10-inch Almaco smooth belt cones mounted in place of insecticide boxes for Field 1 and rear mounted on a Hahn Hi-Boy for Field 2. Preweighed amounts of insecticide granules were distributed uniformly aroung the belt cone by a divider funnel and directed into the open seed furrow (IF) in Field 1 or applied over the top of the plant whorl (G) in Field 2. In Field 1, a CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer mounted on the planter was used to apply liquid insecticides at planting. A TeeJet #250017 nozzle positioned between the disc openers was used to direct an in-furrow spray of 1.5 gpa at 14.5 psi (LP). Post-plant liquid treatments were applied in a 7-inch band over the top of the plant whorl with a CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer at 20 gpa at 30 psi on 17 Jun (LPP). Liquid insecticides were broadcast over the top of the plant whorl with a CO2 pressurized backpack sprayer at 20 gpa at 30 psi (L). Five uninfested plants per plot in both fields were artificially infested with 10 ECB black-head stage egg masses each on 26 Jun. Crop growth stage for both fields was an extended leaf height of 26-28 inches and 35-45 inches free standing height, respectively. Also, in field 2, five naturally infested plants which exhibited active larval whorl feeding were also marked at the time of artificial infestation. The stalks of the infested plants in each field were split lengthwise and the total number of tunnels in the five plants per plot were used to evaluate ECB larval damage. Infested plants in Field 1 were evaluated for damage on 30 Jul and in Field 2 on 23 Jul, 6 and 8 Aug. The percent infestation at evaluation was determined by the number of plants with a minimum of 1 cavity per treatment replicate. Data were analyzed by ANOVA for RCB with mean separation using DMRT.
Corn Rootworm Larval Control, 1996

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Two insecticide efficacy studies for controlling mixed populations of NCR (3% Experiment 1 and 30% Experiment 2) and WCR (97% Experiment 1 and 70% Experiment 2) were conducted at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, Centre County, PA. The experiments were conducted on separate fields approximately 1 mile apart. Corn was planted no-till on 21, 22 May (Experiment 1) and 22 May (Experiment 2) using a John Deere Max-Emerge 2 row planter with 30 inch spacing. Three treatments were applied in each experiment on 31 May, using a SmartBox™ Closed Pesticide Delivery System. The field used in Experiment 1 was planted with corn and pumpkin as a trap for rootworm adults in 1995. Insecticides were applied to 10 X 40 ft plots arranged in a RCB design with four replications per treatment and an untreated check per replication. Plant populations were counted at both locations on 4 Jun. Root damage ratings were evaluated 5, 6 Aug (Experiment 1) and 6, 7 Aug (Experiment 2) using the Iowa 1 to 6 system. Corn in all treatments was harvested for silage and grain yield. In Experiment 1, silage yield was determined on 7, 8, 9 Oct and grain yield on 6 Nov by harvesting 1/1000 acre (17 ft of one row) in each plot by hand because the soil at harvest was too wet to use the silage harvester. Percent moisture was determined for each replication by drying 5 random plant samples collected across the various treatments. In Experiment 2, silage yield was determined using a one-row silage harvester on 26 Sep. Percent moisture for silage in this experiment was determined by drying a subsample (approximately 2 lb wet) from each plot. Silage yield was adjusted to 65% moisture in both experiments. Grain yield for Experiment 2 was determined by mechanically harvesting 2 rows from each plot for shelled corn on 18 Nov with a Massey Ferguson combine. Percent moisture of the shelled corn was determined for each plot with a moisture meter and the grain yield was adjusted to 15.5% moisture for both experiments.
