LEAFMINER CONTROL ON FRESH MARKET TOMATOES IN, SPRING 2002

LEAFMINER CONTROL ON FRESH MARKET TOMATOES IN, SPRING 2002 (E83) TOMATO: Lycopersicon esculentum Miller, 'Agriset' David J. Schuster Gulf Coast Res. & Educ. Ctr. 5007 60th St. E.

Each plot consisted of a single 18 ft row with rows on 6 ft centers. Ambush 2EC was applied at 3.2 oz/acre on 14, 21, 28 Mar, 4, and 10 Apr to try and increase the leafminer population. Experimental treatments were replicated four times in a randomized complete block design and were applied with a 2.5 gal, hand-held CO -powered sprayer on 1 Apr and 28 May. The sprayer was operated at 60 psi and delivered 60 gpa for the first application and 120 gpa for the second application using a single nozzle fitted with a D-5 disk and no. 25 core. The number of leafmines were counted during a 2 min search of each plot on 17, 24 Apr, 1 May, 6 and 12 Jun. The leafminer population was very low for a spring trial. All treatments, except Proclaim on 17 Apr, resulted in fewer leafmines compared to the check two and 3 wk after the first treatment.
