Activity Level Of Helicoverpa Armigera Nucleopolyhedrovirus (Hearnpv) And Feeding Habits Of Helicoverpa Zea Larvae After Ingestion Of Hearnpv In Mississippi Soybean, Judge Tyler Fortenberry
Activity Level Of Helicoverpa Armigera Nucleopolyhedrovirus (Hearnpv) And Feeding Habits Of Helicoverpa Zea Larvae After Ingestion Of Hearnpv In Mississippi Soybean, Judge Tyler Fortenberry
Theses and Dissertations
HearNPV was applied to a soybean field and evaluated for residual efficacy at different time intervals (0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours) after application in laboratory bioassays with treated leaves. Larval mortality was rated at five, seven and twelve days after larval infestation. Larval mortality increased as the number of days after infestation increased. To evaluate the feeding habits of Helicoverpa zea at the 2nd and 3rd instar, HearNPV exposed larvae and untreated larvae were weighed at zero (before diet exposure), four, and seven days. At four days after exposure, larval weight gain of …
Determining Residual Control And Systemic Activity Of Commonly Used Insecticides In Soybean And Cotton, Jacob H. Smith
Determining Residual Control And Systemic Activity Of Commonly Used Insecticides In Soybean And Cotton, Jacob H. Smith
Theses and Dissertations
Chemical control is a critical component of integrated pest management in cotton and soybean production. Residual efficacy of foliar insecticides can be highly variable and difficult to quantify due to several factors. The purpose of this research was to determine residual control and concentrations in flowering structures of commonly used insecticides. This research focused on the concentrations of active ingredient within the plant as well as efficacy over time. Previous research suggested chlorantraniliprole had a long residual and was highly lethal on corn earworm up to 28 days after treatment (DAT) in soybean; however, the results found in cotton were …
