Abstract
Abstract ‘Florida Market’ eggplant were transplanted to a Sassafras sandy loam field on 3 June. Single row plots were 15 ft long and 5 ft wide; a guard row buffered each treated row. Treatments were replicated four times in a randomized complete block design. Standard foliar sprays were applied with a self-propelled, high-clearance sprayer calibrated to deliver 83 gal/acre at 200 lb/in2 with one drop nozzle over the row and one on either side of the row. “Bozzle” sprays were applied with a hand-held electrodyne sprayer calibrated to deliver a constant flow rate of 0.06 ml/sec. Sprays were applied 24 June, 15 and 27 July, and 5 and 22 Aug. Colorado potato beetle counts were recorded 19 July and 24 Aug. Mature fruit were harvested on 25 July, 8 Aug., 6 Sept., and 7 Oct. All fruit were examined for percent damage or scarred fruit caused by Colorado potato beetle feeding. Plants were irrigated when moisture was below normal.
