Tobacco was transplanted at the Research and Education Center, Princeton, KY, on 30 May. All tobacco was produced using standard agronomic practices, including topping on 7 Aug, harvest on 19 Sept, housing, firing, stripping, and grading. Plots were 3 rows wide by 25 ft long. Adjacent plots were separated by single untreated guard rows. Foliar application of insecticides was made to the center row using a Co2 powered back pack sprayer fitted with 3, 70° hollow cone nozzles/row with one nozzle directly over the row and with 8 inch drops (aimed 135° from vertical) on either side of the row. Treatments were applied in 29 gal/acre at 42 psi. Aphid ratings were made from 5 consecutive plants in the center of each plot, using the following rating scale. 0°no aphids present, 1°very light, 1 aphid to small colonies, 2°several colonies but not widespread, 3°general, widespread colonies, 4°extremely heavy, on all plant parts. Application of Orthene 75 SP was applied in the transplant water, by foliar application or by a combination. Thiodan 3EC was applied by foliar application. The topping time spray was made on 8 Aug. Schedule sprays were made on 26 Jul, 8 Aug, and 24 Aug. Thus, the schedule sprays included the topping time spray. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design.
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.
