Abstract Several insecticides were tested for efficacy of control against southern green stink bug in 3 small plot trials at the St. Gabriel Research Station in Iberville Parish, LA. Test 1 was conducted on 17 Aug on ‘Ring Around 452’ in the R6 growth stage. Tests 2 and 3 were conducted on 3 Sep on ‘Delta Pine 415’ in the R6 and R5 growth stages, respectively. Treatments in all tests were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Plots were 50 ft by 5 rows (36 inch row spacing). Treatments were applied with a tractor using a compressed air sprayer calibrated to deliver 10 gpa at 44 psi with 8002 flat fan nozzles. At 2 and 7 DAT, one 25 sweep sample was taken from each plot using a 15 inch diameter sweep net. Nymph and adult SGSB were counted. No rainfall was recorded during any of the tests.

Abstract The efficacy of selected insecticides for control of VBC was evaluated in 3 small plot insecticide trials at the St. Gabriel Research Station near St. Gabriel, LA. Treatments in all 3 tests were applied to ‘Buckshot 723’ soybean in the R5 growth stage using a tractor and compressed air sprayer calibrated to deliver 93.5 1/ha at 2.66 kg/cm2 through 8002 flat fan nozzles. Plots in all tests were 5 rows wide (0.91 m row spacing) by 15.2 m, arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. At 2 and 7 DAT in each test, one 25 sweep sample was taken from each plot with a standard 38.2 cm diam sweep net. Test 1 was applied 6 Sep, Test 2 was applied 8 Sep, and Tesi 3 was applied 14 Sep.

Abstract Efficacy of standard and experimental in secticides was evaluated in two small plot trials conducted at the Red River Research Station located near Bossier City, LA (Bossier Parish). Treatments were applied to ‘Hutcheson’ soybeans with a high clearance, CO2-pressurized sprayer calibrated to deliver 5.9 gpa at 40 psi through TXVS6 hollow cone nozzles (2/row). Plots were 50 ft X 4 rows (40 inch centers) and arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Treatments were applied on 20 and 22 Aug in Tests 1 and 2, respectively. One 25-sweep sample/plot was taken with a standard 15-inch diam sweep net at 2, 5, and 9 DAT in Test 1 and 3 and 7 DAT in Test 2. On 27, 28, and 29 Aug both tests received 0.17,0.92, and 0.27 inches of rainfall, respectively. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and means sep arated by DNMRT.

Abstract The efficacy of several experimental insecticides that consist of pyrrole or avermectin chemistry, or exhibit insect growth regulator activity were evaluated against the soybean looper (SBL) on soybean in a small plot insecticide screening trial at the Macon Ridge Branch of the Northeast Research Station near Winnsboro, Louisiana. Activity of these materials was compared to that of the standard recommended insecticide Larvin at 0.6 lb (AI)/acre. Plots measured 50 ft by 5 rows (40 inch spacing) and were arranged in a RCB with 4 replications. Insecticides were applied on 23 Aug (R5, beginning seed stage) with a tractor and compressed air sprayer calibrated to deliver 10 gpa at 38 psi through TX8 hollow cone nozzles. Treatments were evaluated using 25 sweeps (15 inch diameter sweep net) per plot at 2, 5, and 7 DAT. No precipitation occurred throughout the duration of this experiment.

Growth compensation of dwarf sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids to low initial stands, later stand losses, or plant defoliation has not been reported regarding replanting decisions and crop insurance yield loss assessment. Three experiments were conducted to study the affect of stand reduction, defoliation, and row spacing on dwarf sunflower yield and quality when grown in eastern North Dakota. Experiment 1 evaluated stand reduction (0, 25, 50 and 75%) applied at growth stages (V4, R1 and R6) in 15, 45 and 76 cm spaced rows. Row spacing interactions with stand reduction and growth stage were not significant for yield indicating growth stage and stand reduction effects on yield response were independent of row spacing. In exp. 2, significant growth stage (V4, V8, R1, R2, R3, R5 and R6) by stand reduction (0, 12, 25, 37, 50, 62 and 75%) interaction showed stand reduction at vegetative growth stages not influencing yield, but as maturity progressed yield reductions became greater with increased stand reduction. Achene weight increased with increasing stand reduction at vegetative and early reproductive stages. A reciprocal relationship was noted between achene weight and achene oil content where oil content decreased as achene weight increased. Interaction of growth stage (R1 and R6) and defoliation (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in exp. 3 indicated greater reduction in yield, test weight, 1000-achene weight, and achene oil conte nt as defoliatin increased at growth stage R6. Yield compensating ability of dwarf sunflower is dependent on type and level of damage and growth stage of occurrence, with total yield reduction considering all effects. Key words: Sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., row spacing, stand reduction, defoliation
