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.

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 Insecticide efficacy against soybean looper was evaluated at the Macon Ridge Branch of the Northeast Research Station. Plots consisted of 4 rows (40 inch centers) × 50 ft, planted 3 Jun. Treatments in both tests were arranged in a RCB with 4 replications. Insecticides were applied on 23 Aug with a tractor-mounted boom and compressed air system calibrated to deliver 10 gal total spray/acre through Teejet X-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 38 psi. Treatments were evaluated at 3 and 7 DAT using two 25-sweep samples/plot with a standard 15 inch diameter sweep net. Rows 2 and 3 were sampled 3 DAT and rows 4 and 5 were sampled 7 DAT. No rainfall occurred during the test.

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 A field study was conducted at the Macon Ridge Branch, Northeast Research Station, located near Winnsboro (Franklin Parish), Louisiana, to evaluate the efficacy of several B. thuringiensis insecticides for soybean looper control. Test plots were 50 ft long by 5 rows with a 40 inch row spacing and were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Insecticides were applied with a tractor and compressed air sprayer calibrated to deliver 10 gpa at 38 psi through TX8 hollow cone nozzles (2 per row). Insecticide treatments were applied to soybeans in the R5 stage of growth (beginning seed) on 25 Aug. Posttreatment counts, consisting of 25 sweeps per plot, were taken with a 15 inch diameter muslin net at 2, 5, and 7 DAT. No rainfall occurred and the plots were not irrigated during the experimental period. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by means separation according to DMRT.

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.
