Potatoes were planted 18 May, at the Red River Valley Potato Growers Research Farm (RRVPGA), Grand Forks, ND. Plots were of variable length with 38-inch row spacing, randomized in complete blocks with 3 replications. All beetle larvae were counted on every plant in each replication until a minimum of 200 larvae were found. Insecticide treatments were applied using a CO2 powered hand-sprayer delivering 50 gal water/acre at 35 psi. Treatments were applied 7 Jul and evaluated 24 h later on 8 Jul. Subsequent evaluations were not possible because of the aerial application of insecticide to the entire field on 9 Jul.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
