Abstract
Abstract Honeymoon' sweet corn was hand-planted in rows on 36 inch centers at the University of New Hampshire Kingman Farm, Madbury, NH on 21 Jun. Each plot consisted of a single 30-ft row of corn and each treatment was replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. When 10% of the plants were in the silking stage, spray applications of 17 insecticide treatments were initiated using an R & D CO2-pressurized (40 psi) single nozzle hand-held sprayer that delivered 30.3 gal/acre. The sprays were directed toward the silk zone on each side of the plant on 13, 16, 19, and 23 Aug. On 17 Aug the block was subjected to high winds associated with Hurricane Bob that caused most of the plants to layover. On 18 Aug each plant had to be straightened up and soil packed around its base to allow passage of the sprayperson between the rows. Evaluations were made at harvest time on 3 and 4 Sep by examining 25 ears from each replicate for the presence of larvae or larval feeding injury.
