Abstract
Abstract Transplants were set 4 Sept, 18 inches apart on 2.5-ft-wide by 8-inch-high beds of EauGallie fine sand covered with black polyethylene mulch. Plots consisted of 10 staked plants and treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Treatments were applied 25 Sept; 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30 Oct; and 6 Nov with a 2.5-gal, handheld CO2-powered sprayer operated at 40 psi and delivering 80-140 gal/acre (volume increased as plants grew). On 10 Nov, the numbers of leafminers were counted in a 2-minute visual search of each plot. The numbers of undamaged fruit and the numbers of fruit damaged by noctuid larvae (principally the southern armyworm, S. eridania (Cramer)) were determined in a single harvest taken on 13 Nov.
