Abstract
Abstract Lady Bell’ peppers were seeded in the greenhouse on 14 Mar and transplanted to a Sassafras sandy loam field on 19 May. Plots consisted of a single row of peppers, 25-ft long and 5-ft wide; a guard row buffered each treatment row. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Foliar sprays were applied with a self-propelled, high-clearance boom sprayer equipped with a drop nozzle on either side of the row and one centered over the row calibrated to deliver 60 gal/acre at 40 psi operated at 2 mph. Treatments were applied on 9, 15, 23, 30 Jul; 6, 15, 22, 29 Aug; 5, 12, 19 and 26 Sep. Mixed red and green commercial peppers were harvested on 25 Jul; 5, 21 Aug; 4 and 30 Sep. Peppers were counted, weighed and split open to determine % European corn borer infestation.
