Abstract
Abstract The experiment was conducted in a research field of rockdale soil located in Homestead, FL. ‘Jalapeno’ pepper transplants were set in the field onto raised black polyethylene mulch covered beds following recommended cultural practices on 14 Feb. 1995. Beds were 3 ft. wide and spaced 6 ft. apart from center to center. Plots were 3 rows each 100 ft. long. Three treatments were arranged in RCB with 4 replications. Treatments evaluated were: oxamyl (0.50 lb. (AI)/acre), fipronil (0.10 lb. [AI]/acre) and a nontreated check treated with water. Chemical were applied on 16, 20, 25 and 30 April, and 4 May 1995 with a backpack sprayer using 2 nozzles/row delivering 50 gpa at 40 psi. Treatments were evaluated by collecting all fallen fruits from randomly selected three plants in each treatment plot 24 h after each application. Total numbers of larvae inside these fallen fruits were recorded. Adults were counted on randomly selected three plants per treatment plot after each application.
