Abstract Snapbeans were planted on 18 May at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of 2 rows 25 ft long and planted on 3 ft row spacing. Plots were bordered on each side by an untreated guard row. Each treatment was replicated 4 times in a RCBD. Granular treatments were applied in furrow prior to planting using a hand-held shaker. DiSyston and Thimet granules were manually incorporated to avoid direct contact with the seeds and phytotoxicity. The Orthene foliar spray was applied on 9 June, after the formation of the first trifoliate leaves, with a three-nozzle boom backpack sprayer delivering 60 gal water/acre at 40 psi. To evaluate efficacy, 10 trifoliate leaves/plot were randomly picked on the dates indicated in the table, washed in soapy water, and filtered through a Buchner funnel. Thrips and PLH nymphs were then counted under a stereoscopic microscope.

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 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.

Abstract Sweetpotatoes were transplanted on 20 Jun at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of 3 rows 20 ft long with 3-ft between-row spacing. An untreated guard row separated each plot from its neighbor. Treatments were replicated 6 times in a RCB. Mocap treatments were applied preplanting and incorporated on 7 Jun. The Lorsban and Fipronil treatments were applied immediately before planting and incorporated on 20 Jun. The application method (15 inch band v. broadcast) for each treatment is indicated in the table. A backpack sprayer equipped with a 6 plant fan nozzle boom/3 rows was used to apply the broadcast treatments, and a single flat fan nozzle boom was used to apply the band treatments. In order to control the summer generations of the soil insects after the main treatment had broken down, the plots (except for the check) were sprayed with Sevin XLR at 1.00 lb (AI)/acre alternating weekly with Thiodan 3EC at 0.56 lb (AI)/acre on 22 and 30 Jul and 5 and 15 Aug. The same sprayer was used for the foliar treatments as was used for the broadcast treatments, both of which were applied in 21 gal water/acre at 40 psi.

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 Cucumbers were planted on 12 Aug at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of a 25 ft long row planted on 5 ft row spacing, replicated four times in a randomized, complete block design. An untreated guard row separated each plot. Furadan 4F was applied in furrow at planting using a single nozzle boom backpack sprayer. The Payload 15G in furrow at planting treatments were applied using a hand-held shaker. Foliar sprays were applied using a 3 hollow cone nozzle boom backpack sprayer delivering 45 gal water/acre at 40 psi. Foliar spray dates were 31 Aug and 6 and 13 Sep. On 31 Aug, the Furadan 4F at planting plots were less defoliated than the other plots and dead and dying cucumber beetles were observed. These plots were, therefore, not sprayed on this date. Dead and dying beetles were also observed in the Payload 15G plots on 31 Aug. These plots were treated with a low rate of Asana on this date, since actively feeding beetles were also observed. Evaluation criteria consisted of counts of both species of cucumber beetle on a randomly chosen 6 ft (30 sq ft) section of row in each plot and estimation of percent defoliation in each plot on the dates indicated in the table. The marketable fruit in each plot was harvested on 4, 11, and 20 Oct and the total yields for the season are indicated in the table.

Abstract Sweet potatoes were transplanted on 20 Jun at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Painter. VA. Each plot consisted of 3 rows 20 ft long, planted on 3 ft row spacing. An untreated guard row separated each plot from each other. Treatments were replicated 6 times in a RCB design. In furrow and band treatments, and the initial foliar sprays were applied with a single nozzle boom backpack sprayer. Granular treatments were applied with a hand held shaker. The Mocap treatments were applied on 25 May to avoid phytotoxicity. The later foliar sprays were applied with a backpack sprayer using 6 flat fan nozzles/row and delivering 42 gal water/acre at 40psi. Thiodan sprays were applied on 7, 14, and 21 Jul. Sevin XLR was sprayed on 27 Jul in order to observe the restrictions on the number of applications allowed on the Thiodan label. Foliar sprays were applied in order to coincide with clickbeetle (adult wireworm) flights, as determined by the black light trap at Painter, VA. Layby treatments were applied on 26 Jul. On 11 Oct, the center row of each 3 row plot was harvested and 25 market sized roots were randomly selected, washed, and evaluated for insect damage.
