Abstract
Abstract Bell, sweet banana and hot cherry peppers were transplanted on 6 May at the MSU Horticultural Experimental Staton in Sodus, MI (Berrien Co.). Each plot was 3 rows wide (5 ft spacing between rows) by 15-ft long. Plots were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications (= blocks) per treatment for each pepper variety. Treatments were applied to the center row of each plot with a CO2 pressurized hand held sprayer at 30 gpa on 1, 8, 15 and 22 Aug. Efficacy was determined by examining 2 plants from the center row of each plot on a weekly basis. Entire plants were examined for ECB egg masses, 4 leaves per plant were examined for GPA, and 20 mature fruit from the center of each plot were examined for ECB damage at harvest (28 Aug).
