Polymeric Formulations of Insecticides For Cockroach Control, 1977
Authors: Reierson Donald A. , Rust Michael K. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
German cockraoch field control tests with microencapsulated diazinon (Knox-Out 2FM) and microencapsulated resmethrin (Pencapthrin 0.25FM), laminated polymeric tapes containing 10% (by wf.) insecticide, and standard blatticides such as diazinon EC and Dursban EC, were conducted in a series of private apartments in Los Angeles. The 1- and 2- bedroom apartments had a total living area of ca. 74.3 m2 (800 ft2). Pre- and post-treatment infestation levels were determined by trapping in the kitchen of each apartment 1 week with two 0.95-liter Mason jars baited with fresh white bread. Trapped cockroaches were desiccated by a small amount of powdered clay in each trap. Statistical analyses (Wilcoxon’s signed-ranks test) were performed on pretreatment counts made 1 wk before treatment, and posttreatment counts made periodically up to 12 wks. With liquids, ca. 0.9 liter finish spray/apartment (9.5g a.i. in 1% spray) was applied to runoff from a 3.8-liter B&G compression sprayer equipped with a Spraying Systems Co.

Abstract
Six hens and 6 roosters caged in groups of 3 by sex, received CGA-19255 via drinking water for 4 days. Treatment rates were 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 ppm active ingredient. The same birds were used for all 3 rates, receiving untreated water for 3 weeks between each test. Four control groups of 3 roosters were given untreated water. One collective manure sample was taken daily from each of the 4 replicates and controls, placed in an emergence container, and seeded with 50 first-instar house fly larvae. Water consumption per bird was not recorded.
Apple, Insecticide Evaluation, 1977
Authors: Hall F. R. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Experimental sprays were applied to run-off to single tree plots in a randomized block design with 4 replicates, 1 each of Stayman, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Jonathan apple trees. Sprays were applied with a single hand gun from a truck-mounted Myers hydraulic sprayer at 450 psi. All plots except the check were treated on May 9, and 24, and June 10, and 21 and July 7, and 21, plus August 15. Approximately 4.5 gallons of spray were applied per replicate tree. In addition, each plot except the untreated check received Captan 50W at 2 lb/100 gal at each treatment date. Apple aphid ratings were made by counting the number of infested terminals per tree on July 12. A minimum of 1 bushel of fruit per tree was randomly harvested and rated on September 21. (Red Delicious had no fruit because of a spring freeze).
Apple, Summer Mite Control Treatments, 1977
Authors: Hill Clarence H. , Cobb Leonard J. , Thomas John H. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Acaricide treatments were applied in midseason to young Red Delicious trees. Due to spring freeze the trees were without fruit; therefore the grower had applied a minimum spray program. The acaricide treatments were applied with a Bean 35 gallon per minute hydraulic sprayer operating at 540 psi. The trees were sprayed to run-off. Dual tree treatments were replicated 5 times in a randomized complete block design. The mite populations were sampled at about one and two weeks after treatment. Twenty leaves were collected from each replicate and brushed with a machine of a modified Henderson-McBurnie type. The dislodged mites were trapped on the surface of a revolving glass plate in a thin layer of dilute polyvinyl alcohol (Emcol 5100). Sections of the plate were counted; from this the total number of mites in each sample was calculated. The first treatment was made on June 15. A second treatment was applied on July 1 to all plots except the higher rate of RH 6564; this treatment was omitted for lack of material.

Authors: Hull Larry A. , Asquith Dean 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Experimental sprays were applied to run-off to single-tree plots in a randomized block design with 2 replicates of York Imperial and 2 replicates of Golden Delicious. Treated single-trees were separated by others not sprayed with insecticides. Experimental sprays were applied with a John Bean sprayer, 35 gpm pump, equipped with a spray mast carrying 7 spray guns arranged arranged to wet the uniformly trimmed trees. Spray dates for the test insecticides were: May 16, 31, June 14, 28, July 13, 27, Aug 10 and 24. During the spray of May 31, the experimental materials were mistakenly placed in a lower gallonage of water, increasing their concentration by 50%. On Aug. 2, 43 g Plictran 50W/100 gallons was applied to run-off on all replicates treated with the Ambush compounds. During May, general sprays involving Cyprex, Polyram, sulfur, and calcium chloride were applied with an airblast sprayer at 50 gallons of water/acre to the whole experimental block.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Apple, Insect Control, Hudson Valley, 1977: Insecticide treatments were evaluated in a seasonal control program conducted in a thirteen-year-old planting on the EM 2 rootstock. Eight-tree plots containing from 5 to 7 different apple cultivars were replicated 3 times in a randomized complete block design. Treatments were applied dilute to runoff using ca 3.8 gal spray/tree (370 gal/acre) with a handgun sprayer at 425 psi. Treatments were applied at pink (Mcintosh) April 19, petal fall May 13, and in 6 cover sprays -- May 25, June-13, June 27, July 14, July 28, and Aug 11. The Ambush, Croneton + Guthion, Dipel, and Penncap treatments were applied June 9, but 2.2 in. of rain fell shortly after application and prior to drying, so they were reapplied with the rest of the treatments on June 13. Additional sprays applied over the entire block for disease control included: Difolatan 4F 5 qt/100 gal, Apr 1 (Handgun application), and Cyprex 65W 8 oz/100 gal on May 3, May 16, June 6, and June 21 (airblast application, 3X, 133 gal/acre). The ‘Rome Beauty’ and ‘Cortland’ cultivars were thinned with 8 ppm NAA, while the ‘Golden Delicious’ were thinned with 16 ppm NAA on May 18. A miticide (Plictran 50W 4 oz/100 gal) was applied along with the following treatments on July 14: Ambush 25W, Dipel W, Penncap 2F, SD 43775 2.4EC 1.3 oz, and Sumithion 40W. Above normal temperatures during April resulted in an early bloom and consequent early harvest. Rainfall was below normal for May and June but above normal for September.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Treatments were applied to Bartlett pear trees in three locations: at Arendtsville and in Entomology and Horticulture plantings at Biglerville. Dilute sprays were applied to run-off with a handgun attached to a hydraulic sprayer operating at 400 psi. Single-tree plots were replicated twice in the experiments conducted at Arendtsville and in the Entomology planting. Two-tree plots replicated three times in a randomized block design were treated in the Horticulture planting. Treated plots were separated by trees not sprayed with insecticides. For Test 1 at Arendtsville, the treatments were applied April 11 and May 17. Treatments for Test 2 were applied July 15. In the Entomology planting, treatments for Test 1 were applied April 11 and for Test 2 on June 2. In the Horticulture planting, treatments for Test 1 were applied June 14 and for Test 2 on July 14. Benlate, 4 oz ai/100 gal, was sprayed on all pear trees on June 30 and July 19. For mite control Plictran, 2 oz ai/100 gal, was applied on July 16 and Carzol, 1.2 oz ai/100 gal, on August 2 to the Entomology and Horticulture plantings.
Pear, Cutworm Control, 1977
Authors: Fisher G. T. , Howell J. Franklin 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Four insecticides were evaluated for control of natural populations of the spotted cutworm in pears that were in the delayed dormant or summer stage of development. Except in one test, spray (1/2 gal/m2) was applied to the cover crop and soil surface around the tree trunk (plots ca. 1 m2) with a low pressure lawn and garden ("Hudson") type sprayer with TEEJET nozzles. The summer application of Lorsban was made with a handgun using a Bean piston pump sprayer at a pump pressure of 500 psi, at a rate of 10 gal of spray/plot (9x9 m). At 50days posttreatment, the plots were searched for surviving (and dead) cutworms. The spring population consisted only of the spotted cutworm, but the summer population was mixed-about equally divided between spotted cutworm and bertha armyworm.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Spurs bearing 10-15 psylla eggs were collected from mature Bartlett pear trees in April. In the laboratory each spur was dipped (in and out), 6 replicates each, in each of the insecticides listed and then fixed upright in a flask with the base of the spur immersed in water to keep the spur fresh. The treated spurs were held at room temperature (21-22°C) in natural daylight. Evaluation of ovicidal activity was made at 5 days post-hatch of the eggs in the check by counting the hatched and unhatched eggs.
Cherry Fruit Fly Control, 1977
Authors: Aliniazee M. T. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Three different insecticides were tested for the control of the western cherry fruit fly in an abandoned, mixed variety cherry orchard located in Benton County, Oregon. Single tree plots were sprayed to the point of run-off using a powered, pull-tank type sprayer with a hand gun. The sprays were applied at 300-350 psi pressure and at a rate of about 250 gallons/acre. Treatments were replicated four times in a randomized design. The fly emergence in the study orchard was checked by employing Zoecon’s Pherocon-AM traps and treatment timing determined accordingly. Chemicals were applied on June 8, June 18, and June 28, 1977. Treatment effectiveness was assessed by collecting 100 cherries/plot (400 cherries/treatment) and examining for fly stings and maggots under a binocular microscope.
Rose Chafer Control on Concrod Grapes, N. Kingsville, Ohio, 1977
Authors: Williams Roger N. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This experiment was conducted in a portion of a producing vineyard which had a problem with rose chafer adults each spring. Grape rows were planted on 10 ft centers with 8 ft between trunks in the row. Each row was a block containing a replicate of each treatment. A replicate was composed of 5 adjacent vines in the row with 4 replicates/treatment. The 10 treatments were completely randomized within each block. A single application was made on June 5, soon after rose chafer adults were first observed feeding on the grape blossom buds. Application was made at the rate of 100 gpa with a Hudson 6209, 2-gal Favorite sprayer at 40 psi. Damage was evaluated by examining 3 different shoots on the 3 center vines in each plot. At each location, 2 clusters on a single shoot were rated according to the number of buds, flowers or berries missing from the 2 clusters collectively. Ratings were as follows: 1 = 1-10 missing; 2 = 11-25 missing, and 3 = 26-40 missing. The damage ratings listed below are means of the 12 readings made from a treatment on the given date. Considerably less damage was observed in 1977 than in the 2 preceding years.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Orthene (e rates) and Cythion (2 rates) were tested alone and in combination with the surfactant Atplus 41 IF (2 rates) for control of citrus blackfly on citrus. Test trees were 2 species (randomly mixed) of potted citrus (ht. = 5’-6’), heavily infested with citrus blackfly and maintained in an outdoor screen-house. The test was divided into two parts. The first group of trees was sprayed on Aug 15’77, the second on Aug 23’77. Control trees were not sprayed. Chemicals were applied to the run-off point (ca. 1 gal/tree) with a hand-type pump sprayer. Trees were arranged in a randomized block design. Leaves were sampled prior to treatment, and again ca. 2 and 4 weeks after treatment. Five leaves per tree were selected for evaluation of larval mortality, which was determined with the aid of dissecting needles and a binocular microscope.

Authors: Stoltz Robert L. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Kimberly, Idaho. Temik 15% granules were applied at planting May 27, 1977, and sidedressed 20 days after planting. At planting the granules were spread with a Gandy Bander in a 7-inch (17.8 cm) band behind a cultivator sweep. The seed was planted 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and covered with a soil and Temik mixture by means of a disc hiller. The sidedress application was applied with a driven granular applicator in a band 3 inches (7.6 cm) to the side of the plant 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) deep, and on the water side of the furrow. Each plot was 6 rows wide and 25 ft (7.5 m) long. Each treatment level and an untreated check were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. The motile forms of the mite were counted in 225 mm2 areas of bean leaves. Four counts per plot per sampling date were taken for a total of 900 mm2 per plot per sampling date. The plants in 10 ft (3 m) of the center two plot rows were hand pulled, placed in burlap bags, and dried. The beans were threshed and debris and dirt removed by hand. Yield weights were recorded as grams of beans per 20 ft (50 cm) of row and converted to cwt/A (kg/ha).

Abstract
‘Russet Burbank’ potatoes were planted on April 20, 1977, in Ritzville silt loam soil at Yakima, Washington. The native population of Colorado potato beetles present in the area was Mowed to infest the planting so a relatively uniform infestation of beetle adults and larvae was evident about July 1. On July 5, the test materials were each applied in 187 liters of spray/ha with a 2-row CO2 sprayer to plots 2 rows wide (1.7 m) and 7.6 m long. Each treatment was replicated 3 times. Approximately 24 h after treatment (July 6) the foliage between the 2 treated rows was slightly brushed todislodge live Colorado potato beetles, and 1-sq-m area in each plot was searched for dead and live adults and larvae. Also on July 8 the potato plants in 1.5 m of row/plot were examined for live adults and larvae. The percent control was calculated, and the data were subjected to analysis of variance and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test.
