Abstract

Abstract Cabbage plants were transplanted on 6 Apr at the Wes Watkins Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Lane, OK. Each plot consisted of two 15 ft-long rows bordered on each side by an unplanted row. Cabbage was transplanted with 18-inch plant and 36-inch row spacing. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Sprays were applied with a back-pack sprayer using 2 TXVS-26 hollow cone nozzles/row and delivering 36 gal/acre at 40 psi. Applications were made on 10, 16, and 23 May and on 2 and 9 Jun. Evaluation criteria consisted of direct counts of all lepidopterous larvae on 5 randomly selected plants until 22 May and then 3 randomly chosen plants/treatment for the rest of the experiment. On 13 Jun damage ratings were determined. A head was considered marketable if no visible evidence of larval feeding damage was observed on the head or wrapper leaves.
