Arthropod Management Tests 2013, Vol. 38 doi: 10.4182/amt.2013.E57 (E57) Sweet Corn: Zea mays, ‘Symmetry’ EVALUATION OF FOLIAR INSECTICIDES FOR THE CONTROL OF LEPIDOPTERAN LARVAE IN SWEET CORN IN VIRGINIA- 2012 Thomas P. Kuhar Department of Entomology Virginia Tech 216 Price Hall Blacksburg, VA 24061-0319 Phone: (540)231-6129 E-mail: tkuhar@vt.edu Hélène Doughty E-mail: hdoughty@vt.edu James Jenrette Corn earworm (CEW): Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) European corn borer (ECB): Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) The objective of this experiment was to assess the efficacy of foliar insecticides for the control of CEW and ECB in sweet corn. The trial consisted of 9 treatments arranged in a RCB design with four replicates. ‘Symmetry’ sweet corn was planted on 11 Jun at the Virginia Tech Eastern Shore Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Painter, VA. Plots were 1 row wide and 20 ft (6.1 m) long with no guard rows. Rows were planted on a 3 ft row center (0.9 m) in a 4 tier field design, 6 ft (1.8 m) alleys between tiers. Foliar treatments were applied on 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, and 17 Aug at 38 gpa with a 1-nozzle boom equipped with D3 spray tips and 45 cores and powered by a CO backpack sprayer at 40psi. On 21 Aug, 30 ears were collected from each plot and examined for lepidopteran larvae and feeding damage recorded as unmarketable or tip damage only. All data were analyzed using ANOVA. Proportion data were arcsine square root transformed prior to analysis. Means were separated using Fisher’s LSD at the 0.05 level of significance. Lepidopteran pressure was moderately high with 70.8% of ears damaged in the untreated check. All insecticide treatments except Vydate L had significantly fewer damaged ears and fewer lepidopteran larvae than the untreated check. No signs of phytotoxicity were observed.
