Abstract
Abstract Transplants were set 2 Sep, 15 inches apart on 8-inch-high beds of EauGallie fine sand covered with white polyethylene mulch. Each plot consisted of a single 15 ft row with rows on 5 ft centers. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design and were applied with a 2.5 gal, hand-held CO2-powered sprayer on 1,9, 16, 22, 29 Oct, 5 and 26 Nov. Applications were not made the weeks of 9 and 16 Nov because of inclement weather. The sprayer was operated at 60 psi and delivered 60 gpa for the first three applications and 120 gpa for the remaining applications using a single nozzle fitted with a D-5 disk and #45 core. On 20 Nov, the numbers of large (0.5 inch) and small (<0.5 inch) southern armyworm larvae per plot were determined by a whole plant search. Fruit were harvested on 25 Nov and 9 Dec. The number and weight of undamaged fruit and the number and weight of fruit damaged by armyworm and tomato pinworm larvae were determined.
