Abstract Cabbage transplants were planted on 5 Sep at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Research Station, Painter, Virginia. Each plot consisted of a single 25 ft long row bordered on each side by an untreated row. Cabbage was transplanted with 17-inch plant and 36-inch row spacing. Treatments were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Sprays were applied with a propane compressed air backpack sprayer using 3 hollow cone nozzles per row and delivering 75 gal water per acre at 40 psi. Applications were made on 15, 23, and 28 Oct. Evaluation criteria consisted of direct counts of the numbers of (ICW), (CL), and (FAW) on 5 randomly chosen plants per treatment. On 15 Nov, damage ratings were determined as in Greene et al., Journal of Economic Entomology, 62(4):798-800. Plants with a damage rating of 3 or below are considered marketable.
