Abstract
Abstract Transplants were set Mar 4, 18 inches apart on 3 ft wide by 6 inch high beds of Immokalee fine sand covered with black polyethylene mulch. Plots consisted of 10 plants and were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Treatments were applied Mar 25, Apr 1, 9, 15, 22, 29, May 6 and 13 with a Solo motorized mist blower which was operated at 1300-1400 rpm (20-25 mph air velocity) and delivered 120 gpa. On May 14, the number of leafmines of the vegetable leafminer were counted on the terminal 3 leaflets of the fourth fully expanded leaf from the top of each plant/plot. The number of undamaged fruit and those damaged by the southern armyworm, tomato pinworm, and southern green stink bug were counted in a single harvest on May 20. After harvest, 5 plants/plot were cut and shaken and the numbers of stink bugs and larvae of southern armyworm, tomato pinworm and cabbage looper were counted.
