Abstract
Formulated insecticides were evaluated for toxicity to tarnished plant bugs in the laboratory. Bioassays were conducted by applying insecticides to cotton terminals (‘STV 213’) held in water pics using a laboratory spray table. Tarnished plant bugs (2-3 d old adults) were collected from wild host plants on 11 Jun; treatments were applied on 12 Jun. The spray table was calibrated to deliver 6 gal/acre at 2 mph with 30 psi at one TX6 nozzle. Each treatment consisted of 3 replicates of 15 terminals/replicate. Controls were treated with water only. One tarnished plant bug (unsexed) was placed on each terminal 30 min after spraying and held in ventilated cups at 85°F and 55-60% RH. Mortality was determined at 72 h and 96 h after spraying. Data were transformed to arcin J for analysis; actual percent mortalities are shown.
