Soil Treatment with Systemic Insecticide for Control of Green Peach Aphids and Colorado Potato Beetles, Test 2, 1978
Authors: Powell Donnie M. , Mondor W. T. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
On Mar 30, 'Russet Burbank' potatoes seed pieces were planted at Yakima in open furrows in Ritzville silt loam soil (Mesic Calciorthidic Haploxerolls) with a pH of 6.2 and 1.6% organic matter. For the planting time (PT) application the granular insecticides were dribbled through a hand-held, funnel-type applicator into the furrow over the potato seed pieces and the seed pieces covered. On May 15, when about 75% of these plants had emerged, similar plants in another set of plots were side-dressed (SD) with granular insecticides in 1-inch (2.5 cm) bands, 4 inches (10.0 cm) to each side at approximate depth of seed with a tractor-mounted Gandy applicator. In another set of plots, granular insecticides were applied over the tops of the small plants (Top) in a 10-12 inch (25.4- 30.5 cm) wide band with a tractor-mounted Gandy applicator and the granules then mixed with the soil by using a Lllliston cultivator. Each plot was 2 rows wide, (5.6 ft or 1.7 m) and 50 ft (15.2 m) long and each treatment was replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. The crop was sprinklerirrigated. The number of green peach aphids (GPA) on 20 compound potato leaves/plot was counted on May 30, Jun 8 and 20, and Jul 10. Colorado potato beetle (CPB) feeding damage, was evaluated by estimating the percent of plants damaged on Jun 12 and Jul 7. Also, on Jul 7, the number of CPB adults and larvae on 2 m2 of plant foliage (2 m long × 1 m wide between rows) and the number of dead adults and larvae on 2 m2 of soil between the rows were counted. The percent of foliage in each plot consumed by beetles was estimated on Aug 7 and the percent of plants destroyed by CPB were recorded on Aug 22. The data means were tested with analysis at variance by using Duncan's MRT at the 5% level.

Abstract
'Russet Burbank' potato seed pieces were planted in open furrow on Apr 4, in Naches soils (Mesic Aridie Calcie Argixerolls) at Wapato, WA. The insecticide granules were dribbled in the furrow over the potato seed pieces with a hand-held, funnel-type applicator and the seed-pieces then covered with soil. Each plot was 2-rows wide (5.6 ft) and 25-ft long and each treatment was replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Twenty compound potato leaves were collected from each plot on May 23 and Jun 12 (49 and 69 days after treatment). The number of green peach aphids (GPA) on the leaves, the number of tuber flea beetle (TFB) feeding holes, and the number of leaves with Colorado potato beetle (CPB) feeding damage were counted. On Jun 22 (79 days after treatment) the number of CPB adults and larvae on the plants in each plot and the number of plants that were 25% or more defoliated by CPB were counted. The potatoes were harvested on Aug 29. Fifty tubers, or all of the tubers if there were less than 50/plot, were washed. Each tuber was weighed and the number of TFB injuries (runs) per tuber were counted on Sep 5, 6 and 7. The total number of runs per plot and the number of runs/1000g of tuber weight were calculated. The data were subjected to analysis of variance with Duncan's MRT.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
FMC-45806 was evaluated separately from tuber samples collected at the Southeastern Field Research Lab in Lancaster County, PA. At Rock Springs, a randomized complete block design with 4 replications was used. Treatments consisted of a factorial arrangement of the 4 insecticides and 3 schedules of application. The insecticides were applied early in the season (Jul 20 and 27), all season (Jul 20, 27, Aug 3, 10, and 17), or late in the season (Aug 10 and 17). Tractor movement was equal through all plots. Label rates were used for all compounds. Plots consisted of six 18 ft rows planted 34 inches apart, 9 inches between plants. Certified, class B ‘Norchip’ seed potatoes were planted May 27. Temik 15G at 3.0 lb ai/acre was applied in furrow to all treatments. Dithane M-45 was applied at 1.5 lb ai/acre on a 5-7 day schedule for potato late blight control. Sampling on Jul 31 and Aug 13 indicated that all plots were essentially pest-free. Two rows per plot were harvested on Oct 8 and stored at 55-60 0F. On Nov 4-6 and Jan 26-27, 1981, samples from each treatment were chipped under standard conditions at the Potato Quality Lab at Rock Springs, PA. The samples were compared to color standards and rated from 1 (light) to 5 (dark). The FMC-45806 samples were taken from an insecticide trial in Lancaster County and both the control and FMC-45806 plots had Colorado potato beetle damage.

Authors: McPherson Robert M. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Small plots, 6.1 x 7.4 m, were established in ‘Boone’ barley planted in early Oct., 1981, on the Joe Hicks Farm in Richmond County, VA. Plots were sprayed on May 14 with Malathion 57% EC or left untreated, when cereal leaf beetle populations reached 14.5 larvae/0.3 row-m. The spray concentrate was applied with a CO2 compressed air sprayer at 32 psi that delivered 29 gal of finished formulation per acre. A randomized experimental block desrgn was employed with 6 replications. Efficacy of the treatment was determined 3, 7 and 14 days after application by inspecting whole plants for the presence of live larvae per 0.3 row-m. Yield estimates were obtained from 4.9 row-m samples collected from the center of each plot. Yields were adjusted to 14% moisture.
Miticide Efficacy Test, 1982
Authors: Buschman L.L. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This experiment was conducted in a late-planted, flood-irrigated corn field in northern Grant Co, KS. Ten treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Each plot was 3 m wide (4 rows) and 15.2 m long surrounded by a 3 m-wide border of untreated corn. The treatments were applied on 1 of 2 dates except for 1 treatment that received 2 applications. The early treatments were applied on Jul 30 when the corn was in the 16-leaf stage (pre-tassel) and the late treatments were applied on Aug 10 when the corn was in the tassel stage. The chemical treatments were made with a high clearance sprayer using a 3-m boom with 3 nozzles directed at each row (1 nozzle directly over the row and 2 suspended on 46 cm drop hoses). The equipment was calibrated to deliver 20 gal of water/acre at 30 psi of CO2pressure. Counts were made by searching the leaves on 1 side of 2 plants in each of the 2 center rows to give 4 half-plant samples per plot. Plants were selected at random on the first sampling date and flagged so that the same plant could be counted on each sampling date. A visual search was used to record adult female spider mites and active stages of predator mites. Representative samples of spider mites were mounted for microscopic examination and all were determined to be the Banks grass mite.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
An established mixed tall fescue pasture at the University of Tennessee’s Plateau Experiment Station, Grasslands Farm, Crossville, TN, was treated with foliar and granular insecticides for control of leafhoppers. Three treatments, replicated 12 times in a randomized complete block design, each were applied to 5.5 m by 1.6 m plots. The foliar insecticides, malathion and Cygon, were applied in 234 1 of water per hectare at 206.8 kPa with a CO2-pressurized boom sprayer mounted on bicycle wheels. The granular insecticde, Counter, was spread evenly using shaker jars. In 1980 Counter was applied monthly on May 27, Jul 1, Aug 19, and Sep 16; malathion was applied biweekly on May 27, Jun 10, Jul 1, 15, Aug 19, Sep 2 and 16. In 1981 Counter was applied monthly on May 22, Jun 24, Jul 22 and Aug 19; Cygon was appliwf biweekly on May 22, Jun 24, Jul 8, 22, Aug 5 and 9. Leafhopper samples were taken with a D-Vac suction sampler with a 0.09 m2 head from 4 Replicates only. Five spots per plot were sampled for 30 sec each. Yield was taken from all 12 replicates from a 53-cm swath cut out of the center of each plot using a Sensation lawn mower. In 1980 total rainfall for Jun, Jul and Aug was 7.9 cm, 3.7 cm and 6.4 cm, respectively; in 1981 rainfall amounts for the same months were 11.5 cm, 7.1 cm and 12.0 cm, respectively.
Control of Grasshoppers on Rangeland with Carbaryl, 1982
Authors: Onsager Jerome A. , Mazuranich Philip C. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
A new FR formulation of carbaryl was applied at 4 dosage rates (4, 5, 6, and 8 oz ai/acre) to square 40-acre plots replicated 4 times near Douglas, WY on Jul 21-23. The primary objective was to compare 2 basic formulations; the secondary objective was to evaluate effects of replacing toxicant with ‘PA-3’, a confidential anti-evaporant that theoretically could also act as an attractant, feeding stimulant, or feeding arrestant. All treatments were applied in 20 oz of liquid/acre, comprised of 4 oz of water, plus either 16 fl oz of FR in the case of the highest dosage rate or 16 fl oz of a mixture containing FR diluted with sufficient PA-3 to provide the 4, 5, and 6 oz dosages. These treatments were compared to a standard treatment of 16 fl oz of Sevin 4.0 Oil (8 oz ai) diluted with 4 fl oz of diesel oil/acre. All treatments were applied with a Cessna Ag-Husky aircraft at 28 psi through Spraying Systems 0-5 nozzles and no. 45 course swirl plates. Flight speed was 125 mph, flight height was 100 ft, and swath width was 100 ft. Nozzles were directed straight down for the 6 and 8 oz FR treatments, and were directed slightly backwards for the other 3 treatments. Actual application rates were calculated to range from 19.1 to 20.2 fl oz/acre.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
This test was conducted at Nebraska Agric. Exp. Sta. Field Laboratory, Mead, NE in grain sorghum planted Jun 4. Plots were 3 rows, 9.15 m long. Plots were separated by 2 untreated buffer rows to minimize spray drift between treatments. Treatments were^repl icated 3 times in a randomized complete block design. Sprays were applied by a bicycle-wheeled plot sprayer at 2.109 kg/cm2 and 246.8 1/ha through a boom filtered with 1 top nozzle and 2 drop nozzles/row. The liquids were propelled with pressurized CO2. Sprays were applied Aug 4 at which time plants were in the boot stage. The efficacy of each insecticide was evaluated by counting live greenbugs on each of 5 plants selected at random from the center row of each plot at 1, 6, and 14 days post treatments. Rainfall during the sampling period was measurable on Aug 9 (1.0 in), Aug 10 (3.20 in), Aug 12 (0.20 in), Aug 13 (2.60 in), and Aug 14 (0.40 in).
Cattle, Atroban Ear Tags for Face Fly and Horn Fly Control, 1982
Authors: Herald Freddie , Knapp F.W. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Five Atroban permethrin ear tag formulations were tested on beef cattle for face fly and horn fly control. These differed as to the DOP plasticizer percentages, permethrin concentration, cis:trans isomer ratio and dyes. They were compared on mixed cow-calf herds ranging in size from 23 to 35 cows. Only the cows were treated with 1 tag per ear. One treatment was applied by stapling ear tag strips containing the commercial Atroban formulation onto the backside of the cattle identification ear tags and allowing the strip to extend 0.5 in below the ID tags. Treatments were applied during the first week in Jul. Each Atroban treatment was tested on 1 herd of cattle. A similar herd of untreated beef cattle within the area was used as the untreated check for evaluating the effectiveness of the tags. Face fly and horn fly counts were made on 10 cows in each treatment before tagging and at regular post-treatment intervals.

Slurry Treatments for Insect Control on Grain Seeds, 1981
Authors: Strong R. G. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The primary objective of these tests was to evaluate the effectiveness of Lorsban and Reldan in comparison to methoxychlor and malathion treatments for protection of seeds against insect infestations in storage. Gustafson Captan 30 DD was applied to 10-lb lots of corn, grain sorghum, and wheat seed prepared in a Batch Lab Treater. Calculated rates of insecticides were added to the slurry treatment mixture as needed. Following application of slurry, 100-g samples of seed were taken at random from each treatment lot. Each sample was put into a 1-pt mason jar equipped with a filter paper cover held in place with the jar ring. Each of 10 total samples of each kind of cereal grain seed tested for each treatment was exposed to 50 laboratory-reared adults of the following: the red flour beetle, the sawtoothed grain beetle, and the rice weevil. A total of five 100-g samples of each kind of seed tested for each treatment were exposed to 20 young Indianmeal moths; likewise, 5 sample replications of seed were exposed to 20 young Angoumois grain moths. All test seeds were held in a room maintained at 80 F and 50-60* RH. Initial counts of live moths were made 3 days after infestation; counts of beetles were made 7 days after initial infestation of seed with insects. When the F. generation of moths began emerging in untreated samples of seed, moth counts were made at regular intervals, and moths were removed as counted. All F, generation emergence was complete by the end of 45 days. A second or reproductive count of beetles was made 60 days after initial infestation.
