Experimental and registered insecticides were evaluated for efficacy against Japanese beetle on soybeans at the Tobacco Experiment Station, Greeneville, TN. Soybeans were planted in 38 inch rows on May 24. Plots were 6 rows x 20 ft with treatments replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Insecticides were applied to the center 2 rows/plot with a 2 gal hand sprayer at 50 gal/acre spray. One treated row/plot was sampled by taking 5 sweeps along the row (ca 15 row ft) with a 15 inch dia insect net. The sample row was rotated on each date to reduce plant damage. The center 2 rows/plot were harvested on Oct 20.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
