Abstract Peppers were transplanted on 31 Jul at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of two 25ft long rows with 3ft between row spacing and 1ft between plant spacing. Each plot was bordered on each side by an untreated guard row and replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Treatments were applied on the dates indicated in the table with a backpack sprayer using 3 hollow cone nozzles/row and delivering 60 gal water/acre at 40 psi. Evaluation criteria consisted of hand-harvest of marketable fruit on 10 healthy, uniform-sized plants/row (.00062 acre) and GPA counts on 5 randomly picked leaves/plot on 06 Oct. Harvesting was done in this manner due to uneven stands in some plots due to the drought.

Abstract Potatoes were planted on 11 April at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of two 25 ft rows on 3 ft row spacing, replicated four times in a randomized, complete block design. An untreated guard row separated each plot. Admire 2F was applied in furrow preplanting using a single hollow cone nozzle boom backpack sprayer. Foliar sprays were applied on the dates indicated in the table using a 3 hollow cone nozzle boom backpack sprayer delivering 60 gal water/acre at 40 psi. On 21 and 23 Jun, the entire test was sprayed out with Vydate L at 0.50 lb(AI)/acre and Furadan 4F at 1.00 lb (AI)/acre to control first generation CPB adults. Evaluation criteria and spray decisions were based on weekly counts of all CPB life stages present on 10 random stems/plot. Sprays were applied if the following thresholds were exceeded: 4 small larvae, 1.5 large larvae, or 0.5 adults/stem. Percent defoliation for each plot was rated on 16 Jun and both rows of each plot were harvested and graded on 20 Jul to determine yields.

Abstract Tomatoes were transplanted on 9 Aug at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of a single row 20 ft X 5 ft, bordered on each side by an untreated guard row. On 1 Oct, heavy potato aphid populations developed in the test field. A pre-count of live aphids on 5 randomly picked compound leaves/plot was taken on this date and followed by a single application of all treatments. Treatments were applied with a backpack sprayer equipped with a 3 hollow cone nozzle boom and delivering 46 gal water/acre at 40 psi. To evaluate efficacy, the plots were sampled as previously described for the pre-count on the dates indicated in the table.

Abstract Peppers were transplanted on 22 May at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of two 25ft rows, planted on 3ft row spacing. Plots were separated from each other by an untreated guard row. Each treatment was replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Treatments were applied with a 3 nozzle boom backpack sprayer delivering 60 gal water/acre at 40 psi. Treatments were applied weekly beginning 19 Jul through 16 Sep. The aphidicides CGA 215944 and Provado were added to the pyrethroid treatments indicated in the table on 1,8, and 16 Sep after GPA populations had built up. Spod X was added to the Pounce treatments on the last four application dates to control BAW. The gallonage was increased to 73 gpa for the last 3 applications due to the growth of the plants. Evaluation criteria consisted of hand-harvests of market sized fruits from the more uniform row of each 2 row plot on the dates indicated in the table. This fruit was graded to remove any ECB or BAW damaged fruit and the remaining marketable fruit was weighed to determine yields. Numbers of GPA on 5 randomly picked leaves/plot were counted on the dates indicated in the table.

Spring Planting

Abstract Cucumbers were planted on 17 Jun and 12 Aug at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of 2 rows 25 ft long with 5 ft spacing between rows. Plots were separated from each other by 10 ft of bare ground. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a RCB. Prior to planting, the Admire and Furadan treatments were applied in furrow using a single nozzle boom backpack sprayer. The foliar sprays were applied with a 3 hollow cone nozzle boom backpack sprayer delivering 45 gpa at 40 psi. The Adios AG treatments were broadcast over the appropriate rows using a hand-held shaker on the same dates as the foliar sprays. Application dates were 18 and 24 Jul and 2 Aug for the spring planting and 30 Aug and 9 and 23 Sep for the fall planting. Evaluation criteria were: beetle counts on a 6 ft row section of each plot. Dates with significant differences are recorded in the tables. No attempt was made to obtain yield data, because the growth of the crop across the field was highly variable due to heavy rainfall, especially in the spring planting.

Direct Counts

Abstract Cabbage plants were transplanted on 6 Apr at the Wes Watkins Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Lane, OK. Each plot consisted of two 15 ft-long rows bordered on each side by an unplanted row. Cabbage was transplanted with 18-inch plant and 36-inch row spacing. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Sprays were applied with a back-pack sprayer using 2 TXVS-26 hollow cone nozzles/row and delivering 36 gal/acre at 40 psi. Applications were made on 10, 16, and 23 May and on 2 and 9 Jun. Evaluation criteria consisted of direct counts of all lepidopterous larvae on 5 randomly selected plants until 22 May and then 3 randomly chosen plants/treatment for the rest of the experiment. On 13 Jun damage ratings were determined. A head was considered marketable if no visible evidence of larval feeding damage was observed on the head or wrapper leaves.

Abstract Cabbage was transplanted on 10 Aug at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of a single 25ft row with 3ft spacing between rows. Plots were separated from each other by untreated guard rows. Each treatment was replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Treatments were applied with a backpack sprayer using 3 hollow cone nozzles/row and delivering 60 gal water/acre .at 40 psi. Application dates were 30 Aug; 12, 19, and 26 Sep; 9 and 18 Oct. An additional V71639 application was made on 5 Sep, as early applications of this material are necessary for maximum ovicidal activity. Latron B-1956 was added to each treatment at 8oz/100 gal water. Evaluation criteria consisted of counts of all worm species present on 5 random plants/plot. Dates with high populations for each species are recorded in the table. On 26 Oct, 5 plants/plot were rated for feeding damage according to Greene et al. in J. Econ. Entomol. 62(4): 798-800. A rating greater than 3 is considered unmarketable.
