Abstract The efficacy of Pirate tank mixtures was evaluated against BW/TBW at the Macon Ridge (LA) location of the Northeast Research Station. Cotton seed was planted 21 May in plots consisting of 4 rows (40 inch centers) X 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design and replicated 4 times. Applications were made with a high clearance sprayer calibrated to deliver 6 gpa through Teejet TX-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 42 psi. Insecticides were applied on 7, 9, 12, 14 and 27 Aug. Treatments were evaluated by examining 50 flower buds (squares) per plot on 9, 12, 14, 19 Aug, and 4 Sep for evidence of BW/TBW damage and squares infested with larvae. The plots were mechanically harvested on 14 Oct to determine seedcotton yields. The test was irrigated by an overhead sprinkler “as needed” during the season, but not within 48 h of treatment applications. Rainfall did not influence the efficacy of these treatments. Data were analyzed with ANOVA, and means were separated according to DMRT.

Abstract Six insecticide treatments were evaluated at the Macon Ridge Branch of the Northeast Research Station, Winnsboro, LA, to determine their efficacy in controlling the bollworm/tobacco budworm complex and boll weevils. Cotton was planted 18 Jun in plots consisting of 4 rows (40 inch centers) × 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Treatments were applied with a high clearance sprayer calibrated to deliver 6 gal total spray/acre through Teejet X-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 46 psi. Insecticides were applied on 22, 26 Aug and 1 Sep against established populations of bollworms, tobacco budworms (primarily tobacco budworms) and boll weevils. Efficacy of the various treatments against these species was determined on 25, 31 Aug and 7 Sep by examining 50 squares/plot for evidence of feeding damage. Also numbers of larvae per 50 squares were recorded for the bollworm/tobacco budworm complex. The plots were mechanically harvested on 25 Oct to determine seed cotton yields. The test area received 0.57 and 0.20 inches rainfall on 1 and 6 Sep, respectively.

Abstract The efficacy of selected insecticide treatments was evaluated against an established infestation of BW at the Macon Ridge location of the Northeast Research Station. Cotton seed was planted 29 May in plots consisting of 4 rows (40-inch centers) X 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design and replicated 6 times. Applications were made with a high-clearance sprayer and CO2-charged system calibrated to deliver 6 gpa through Teejet TX-8 hollow-cone nozzles (2/row) at 47 psi. Insecticides were applied on 6 Aug. Treatments were evaluated using two methods. In the first, 5 BW larval infested bolls were removed from each plot 2 h after treatment, placed in 20-ml plastic vials, and transported to the laboratory. Mortality of BW larvae was determined at 2 DAT and 4 DAT. In the second procedure, a field sample of 100 random bolls was taken from each plot and examined for damage and live larvae at 5 DAT. Rainfall did not influence the efficacy of these treatments. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and means were separated according to DMRT.

Abstract A small-plot trial was conducted at the Red River Research Station, Bossier City, LA, to determine the efficacy of selected insecticides in controlling the bollworm/tobacco budworm (BW/TBW) complex on cotton. The experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications. Plots were planted 9 May and were 4 rows X 100 ft on 40-inch centers. All plots had Temik 15 G (0.5 lb [AI]/acre) applied in-furrow at planting. Prior to trial initiation, plots were oversprayed for cutworms on 6 Jun (Karate 1 EC at 0.025 lb [AI]/acre); boll weevils on 9, 13, 18 Jun and 3 Jul (Vydate C-LV at 0.25 lb [AI]/acre); BW/TBW on 27 Jun (Baythroid 2 EC at 0.03 lb |AI]/acre), and 11 Jul (Karate 1 EC at 0.03 lb [AI]/acre); and for aphids on 17 Jul (Provado 1.6°F at 0.047 lb [AI]/acre). Insecticide test materials were applied on 14, 21, 28 Jul, 5 and 14 Aug in 5.9 gal total spray solution/acre at 60 psi with TX-3 hollow-cone nozzles spaced 20 inches apart (2 noz-zles/row). Treatments were applied with a high-clearance sprayer equipped with a CO2 system for spraying small plots. Infestations of BW/TBW larvae and square damage were monitored on 17, 24, 31 Jul, and 7 Aug by examining 25 squares/plot. Following the trial, all plots were oversprayed for BW/TBW on 22 Aug with Karate 1 EC plus Curacron 8 EC at 0.028 + 0.75 lb [AI]/acre. Boll weevil eradication sprays with weekly applications of ULV Malathion (12 oz product/acre) were begun the week of 18 Aug. Yields were determined by mechanically harvesting the center 2 rows of each plot on 7 Oct.

Abstract Selected insecticides were evaluated for control of sorghum midge in grain sorghum at the Macon Ridge location of the Northeast Research Station near Winnsboro, LA. Grain sorghum was planted in a Gigger-Gilbert silt loam on 6 Jun in 4-row plots (40-inch centers) X 60 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design with four replications. In-secticide treatments were applied with a high clearance sprayer equipped with a CO2 charged system calibrated to deliver 6 gpa at 47 psi through TX-8 hollow-cone nozzles (2/row). All insecticides were applied on 5 Aug when an average of 25% of sorghum plants in the field were at some stage of yellow flowering. Sorghum midge damage to seed heads was evaluated in the field on 5 Sep by visually estimating the percent blasted kernels on each of 20 randomly selected panicles from the 2 center rows per plot. Sorghum seed yields were obtained on 10 Sep by mechanically harvesting the 2 center rows in each plot. Sorghum midge damage data were transformed [arcsin (x/100)] prior to ANOVA and DNMRT. Actual means are presented in the table.
