In early spring, field plots were established at Prosser and Othello Washington State. At each location, plots were 18 ft wide and 20 ft in length and treatments were replicated 4 times in a RCB design. Insecticides were applied to mimic grower timing at a pre-bloom and bloom period of the alfalfa. Treatments were applied using a CO powered back pack sprayer equipped with a four nozzle boom using 25 gpa. Five 180° sweeps per plot were used as a means to sample Lygus nymph abundance and efficacy of the insecticides post application. Data were subjected to ANOVA and means were separated from the untreated check using a pairwise t-test (P < 0.05). At the Prosser location during the pre-bloom period, the Baythroid and Capture treatments provided significantly better Lygus control than did the untreated check (Table 1). Moderate levels of control were achieved with the Rimon, Beleaf, and Venom treatments (Table 1). At the Othello location during the pre-bloom period, Rimon, Assail, Baythroid, Dimethoate, Capture, Beleaf, and Venom treatments provided significantly better Lygus control than did the untreated check (Table 1). During the bloom period at the Prosser location, the Rimon, Beleaf, Dibrom, and Assail treatments provided better control than the untreated check (Table 2). At the Othello location during the bloom period none of the treatments controlled Lygus nymphs significantly better than the untreated check (Table 2).
