Seal University of Florida-IFAS Tropical Research and Education Center Homestead, FL 33031 Diamondback moth (DBM): Plutella xylostella (L.) Transplants were set on 10 Mar 2002 at Homestead, FL. Plots were two-beds wide on 36-inch centers, 25-ft long, and separated by a 5-ft alley. Plants were spaced 18 inches within the rows. Treflan 4E was incorporated 2 wk before planting for weed control. Treatments evaluated were: (1) SpinTor 2SC (6 oz/acre); (2) Proclaim WDG (4oz/acre); (3) Novaluron 0.83EC (6, 9, & 12 oz/acre); and (4) a nontreated check.

A prespray sample was counted on 5 May; and two additional samples were counted on 17 and 24 Jun after the last spray. Foliage was rated visually for larvae feeding damage on a scale of 0-6, where 0 indicates the worst feeding damage and 6 the no feeding damage. All insecticide treatments significantly reduced DBM larvae (Table 1.). Novaluron at 6 oz/acre did not consistently control DBM larvae across the sampling dates. Novaluron at 12 oz/acre showed maximum reduction of DBM larvae after the first application and consistently provided similar reduction across the sampling dates and did not differ from SpinTor.

Novaluron (12 oz/acre) and SpinTor treated plants had the lowest feeding damage among all treatments; but did not differ from Proclaim and Novaluron (9 oz/acre). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Arthropod Management Tests Oxford University Press
