Abstract
Abstract Transplants were set 5 Sep, 12 inches apart on 8-inch-high beds of EauGallie fine sand covered with white polyethylene mulch. Each plot consisted of a single 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 27 Sep, 4, 10, 17, 24, 31 Oct, 8, 14, 22 Nov and 12 Dec. The sprayer was operated at 60 psi and delivered 55 gal/acre for the first spray and 80 gal/acre for the remaining sprays. The sprayer was outfitted with a single nozzle with a D-5 disk and #45 core. On 8 Nov, the numbers of beet and southern armyworm larvae were counted on each plant. Fruit were harvested on 27 Nov and 16 Dec and the number and weight of undamaged fruit and the number and weight of fruit damaged by noctuid larvae were determined.
