Abstract

Abstract ‘Chantenay Red Core’ carrots grown for seed in Ephrata sandy loam (Xerollic Camborthids) soil near Quincy, WA, were sidedressed with Temik at the time of bolting. The granules were injected 3 inches into the soil 5 inches from the plant row on May 22. The plots were rill irrigated within 1 week of the application. Each of the 3 replications in the randomized complete block design consisted of a plot 12 rows wide by 50 ft long. The rows were 22-and the plants 6-12 inches apart. Efficacy was determined by counting the number of lygus in 10-sweep samples/plot at weekly intervals from Jun 1 through Aug 14. Phytotoxicity was determined by counting the number of plants in 8, 5-ft row sections in each plot at harvest on Aug 2. The weight and percentage germination of seed samples from these same sections was also recorded. Seeds were germinated on moist filter paper in petri dishes in a controlled environment.
