Abstract

Abstract Fourteen insecticides were evaluated in this test on alfalfa for control and effect on the insect fauna. Plots measuring 10 × 10 ft were utilized on the Yuma mesa. Each treatment as shown in table was replicated three times. Applications were made with a hand sprayer at 20 psi May 7 covering the treated area as uniformly as possible by using 20 seconds/plot. The amount of spray per acre was approximately 25 gal/acre.
