Arthropod Management Tests 2012, Vol. 37 doi: 10.4182/amt.2012.E14 (E14) CABBAGE (HEAD): Brassica oleracea var. capitata ‘Gazelle ’ John C.

Cabbage ‘Gazzelle’ was direct seeded into double row beds on 42 inch centers on 2 Nov, 2010. Plots were two beds wide by 45 ft long and bordered by two untreated beds. Stand establishment was achieved using overhead sprinkler irrigation, and irrigated with furrow irrigation thereafter. Four replications of each treatment were arranged in a RCB design. Formulations and rates for each compound are provided in the table. Two foliar sprays were applied on 6 and 23 Mar as a broadcast application delivered through 2 TXVS-18 ConeJet nozzles per bed at 21.5 gpa and 40 psi. Evaluations of GPA populations were assessed by estimating the number of apterous and alate aphids / plant in whole plant, destructive samples. On each sample date, five plants were randomly selected from each plot and placed individually into large 5-gal tubs. Each plant was sampled by visually examining all plant foliage and counting the number of live aphids present. Data were log transform (mean+1) and subjected to ANOVA; means were separated using F-protected LSD (P ≤ 0.05). Actual non-transformed means are presented in the tables. GPA population pressure was heavy during the trial. Pre-spray aphid counts estimated plants were infested with an average of 15.5 GPA / plant. Following the 1st spray application, GPA populations increased quickly in the untreated check. All spray treatments significantly reduced GPA numbers relative to the untreated check for 14 days, with the exception of the Exirel which did not differ from the untreated check at 14 DAT. Following the 2nd application a similar trend was observed, and all spray treatments, except Exirel, significantly reduced GPA numbers relative to the untreated check for 28 DAT. Overall, Movento and Closer provided the most consistent control of GPA, but only Movento provided commercially acceptable control of GPA on cabbage plants at the end of the trial (20 Apr). No phytotoxicity was observed. This research was supported by industry gift(s) of pesticide and/or research funding.
