Abstract

Abstract Field-grown “Sunny” tomatoes were transplanted on 27 Aug. into single rows 20 inches between plants on plastic mulched beds 36 inches wide on 6 ft with subsurface seepage irrigation. RCB design, with 4 replications and 6 treatments with plots 3 rows by 20 feet. Eight weekly applications made with a tractor-mounted hydraulic boom sprayer with drop lines carrying four Albuz ATR Red nozzles per row for the first 2 applications, delivering 64 gpa and 6 nozzles per row, delivering 95.5 gpa for the remaining 6 applications. Grower check was Biobit FC® (2 qt/100 gal) or 2 pt/100 gal of Lannate 1.8 L (first treatment only). SAW were monitored weekly 3 days post-treatment by examining 5 randomly selected plants per plot for larvae and rating for percent defoliation. The same ten randomly selected plants per plot were harvested 3, 17 and 30 November. Fruit were weighed, culled and checked for worm damage.
