Abstract Cornfields located near New Holland and Garretson in central and eastern South Dakota, respectively, were chosen for this study. The experiment was conducted to evaluate insecticide efficacy using ground-driven Noble metering and electronic Smartbox metering units with band or in-furrow insecticide placement methods for control of northern and/or western com rootworm larvae. Treatment plots (15.2-m-long rows spaced 0.96 m apart) were arranged in a RCB design with four replications. Noble and Smartbox metering units were calibrated on the planter prior to insecticide applications. Banded treatments were applied in an 18-cm swath in front of the furrow-closing wheels, and incorporated by the wheels and drag chains. In-furrow applications consisted of directing granules immediately between double-disk furrow openers. Pioneer IR-3751 (100-day) com seed was planted at approximately 23,000 kernels per acre at each location. Five roots per replicate were dug, washed, examined for feeding damage, and rated using the Iowa 1 to 6 scale. Data were analyzed with the ANOVA procedure and means were compared using LSD.

Abstract Cornfields were chosen at Aurora and Cavour South Dakota based on corn rootworm egg and adult surveys. Therefore, offering the potential for significant larval pressures during this study. The experiment was conducted to compare efficacy of preplant-incorporation (PPI) with traditional planting-time insecticide application methods (banded or in-furrow) for controlling rootworm larvae. The PPI treatments were applied using a hand-held spray boom equipped with 4 Teejet 8002 nozzles spaced 46 cm apart. Delivery rate was 20 gpa at 25 psi while travelling at 3 mph. Immediately following liquid applications, the soil was tilled with a tandem disk harrow at a 5 to 8 cm depth for insecticide incorporation. Granular materials were applied using Noble metering units on an adapted Kinze 4-row corn planter using band or in-furrow insecticide placement methods. Metering units were calibrated on the planter prior to insecticide applications. Treatment plots (15.25 m long rows spaced 96.5 cm apart) were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Band treatments were applied in an 18-cm swath in front of the furrow-closing wheels, and incorporated by the wheels and drag chains. In-furrow applications consisted of directing granules immediately between double-disk furrow openers. Pioneer TR-3751’ (100-day) corn seed was planted at approximately 23,000 kernels per acre at each location. Five roots per replicate were dug, washed, examined for feeding damage and rated using the Iowa 1 to 6 scale. Data were analyzed with SAS’s General Linear Models procedure, and means were compared using DMRT.

Abstract Three studies were conducted at 3 SD sites (Delmont, Garretson, and Sinai) to evaluate insecticide application rates and techniques (hand and in-furrow) for control of NCR and WCR larvae. A randomized complete block design with 4 replications was used in these studies. Individual treatment plots were single 15.25 m long rows spaced 96.5 cm apart. Insecticide granules were applied with modified, ground-driven Noble metering units mounted on a specially-adapted Kinze 4-row corn planter. Metering units were calibrated on the planter prior to insecticide applications. Banded treatments were applied in an 18 cm swath in front of the furrow-closing wheels, and incorporated by the wheels and drag chains. In-furrow applications consisted of directing granules immediately between double disk furrow openers. Corn was seeded at 23,000 kernels per acre at all locations. Five roots per replicate were dug for each treatment. Roots were then washed, examined for feeding damage, and rated using the Iowa 1 to 6 scale.

Abstract A commercial sunflower field near Mina, in north-central South Dakota, was selected foi our trial of several insecticide treatments at standard and reduced rates for management of SB larvae. The experiment was arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications, and individual treatment plots were 25 ft long by 10 rows (38 inch spacing) wide. In addition, each plot was bordered by two buffer rows to prevent drift. Pre-application evaluations were carried out using whole-plant visual counts of the number of live SB larvae per plant. Twenty plants were examined from each treatment plot and these counts indicated an average of 11 SB larvae per plant within the test area. Treatments were applied on 11 Ju’ using a CO2-propelled backpack sprayer system with a hand-held 6.7-ft long boom. The boom was equipped with 4 TeeJet 8001 nozzles spaced 20 inches apart, and was calibrated to deliver a spray volume of 15 gpa while traveling at 3 mph. Insecticide efficacy was evaluated at 6 DAT using the same count ing technique and number of samples described for pre-application sampling. Data were analyzed with SAS’ s General Linear Models procedure and means were compared using DMRT.

The feeding damage caused by the southern corn billbug, Sphenophorus callosus (Olivier), to corn seedlings was studied under selected cultural treatments during 1983 - 84. The growth and development of light, medium, and severely damaged seedlings was observed until harvest. Significantly lower feeding damage and higher yields occurred in conventional tillage as compared with no-tillage treatments. Planting time applications of terbufos at 0.2 kg ai/1000 linear m produced significant control of infestations in 1983 when moisture was higher than normal, but not 1984. Mortality of the plants categorized as severely damaged was significantly lower for subsoiling, insecticide, and conventional tillage treatments than for no subsoiling, no insecticide, and no-tillage treatments in 1984.
