Reyes University of Arizona Department of Entomology Yuma Agricultural Center Yuma, AZ 85364 (603) 782-3836 Cantaloupes were direct seeded on 22 Sep into beds spaced 42 inches apart at the University of Arizona, Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ. Plots consisted of 2 beds, 150 ft long with a 2 bed buffer between plots. Plot preparation and seasonal maintenance followed local practices. Plots were arranged in a RC B design with 4 replicates. Admire 2F treatments were applied 2 in. sub-seed furrow by injecting the material into the beds with long, narrow shanks in 20 gpa total volume of water before seeding. The Gaucho 480 seed treatments were formulated at rates of 0.25 and 0.50 lbs (AI) of imidacloprid/10 lbs of cantaloupe seed. SPWF densities were estimated by counting the number of eggs and nymphs on 2-cm disk sections taken from each of 10 leaves per plot 7 days after planting (DAP [30 Sep]), 14 DA P (7 Oct), 21 DAP (14 Oct), and 28 DAP (21 Oct). Because of heterogeneity of mean variances, insect data were transformed (log x + 1) prior to analysis. Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test to distinguish treatment mean differences. SPWF populations were moderate throughout the experimental period. At 7 DAP , whitefly numbers did not differ among the treatments and the un­ treated. At 28 DAP, the Gaucho seed treatments alone did not provide control relative to the untreated check. The Gaucho/Admire combinations did not provide any additional whitefly relative to the Admire used alone.

Each plot consisted of four, 30-ft-long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bor­ dered on each side by two untreated beds. Plots were arranged in a CRB design with 4 replicates. Foliar applications were made on 10 and 14 Oct with a hand-held C0 sprayer operated at 50 psi, delivering 20 gpa. Spreader-sticker (Kinetic) was included in all spray treatments at a rate of 0.125% of the to­ tal volume.

Populations of cabbage looper were not significantly different at the beginning of the test (10 Oct). At 4 days after the first treatment (14 Oct), the numbers of small and large larvae in all insecticide treatments were significantly lower than the untreated check.
