Morsello E-mail: shannon.morsello@syngenta.com Rice stink bug (RSB): Oebalus pugnax (Fabricius) Long-horned grasshopper (LHG): Conocephalus fasciatus (De Geer) The experiment was designed as a RCB with 6 treatments and 4 replications and was conducted at the Beaumont Center in a field of ratoon rice managed by the Texas Rice Improvement Association. Plot size was 21 ft by 40 ft. Treatments were applied on 20 Sep when rice was in heading to soft dough stages. Applications were made with a 2-person, CO2-powered spray rig equipped with 13, 80015 tip nozzles and 50 mesh screens (spray swath was 21 ft). Final spray volume was 26 gal/ac. Conditions were clam during the spray applications. At 1, 4, 8 and 12 DAT, 30 consecutive sweeps were taken in each plot. RSB and LHG were counted in each sample of sweeps. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and means separated by LSD. Populations of RSB were relatively high 1 and 4 DAT in untreated plots (Table 1). All insecticidal treatments provided good control of RSB (nymphs and adults) at 1 and 4 DAT. However, populations of RSB declined to very low levels at 8 and 12 DAT in untreated plots, so no meaningful conclusions can be drawn regarding these later sampling dates (Table 2). All insecticidal treatments significantly reduced LHG populations compared to the untreated at 4 DAT (Table 1). At 8 and 12 DAT, populations of LHG in untreated plots were to low to draw meaningful conclusions from the data (Table 2). This research was supported by industry gifts of pesticide and research funding.
