Plots of 4-rows by 40-ft in length were established in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates. Plots were located in a commercial field, planted Apr 6, near Leipsic, DE. Treatments were applied every 14 days beginning May 29 and ending Jul 24. These foliar sprays were applied with a wheel barrow design, CO2 sprayer with a drop nozzle system (3 nozzles per row) delivering 43 gallons/acre at 40 psi. Maneb fungicide was applied with each spray to all of the plots except the check and the Temik. The Temik was applied on Apr 6 at planting. The numbers of Colorado potato beetle adults and larvae were counted on May 29, Jun 8, and Jun 19 per 10 hills and on Jun 28, Jul 5 and Jul 16 per 6 ft of row. European corn borer and Green peach aphid populations were very low and as a result no significant data were obtained. Potatoes were harvested from the middle two rows, graded, and yield data obtained on Aug 13. Yield data was based on the total weight of the samples (all grades).
