The relative activity of spinosad was studied utilizing late second instar tobacco budworm each confined on a treated cotton leaf disc in a one ounce vented plastic cup. The discs were dipped in solutions using 4-fold dilutions. Ten replicates of one larva each were infested after drying at each dose and generally 5 dosage levels were used in the tests. Each paired comparison was done side by side and evaluated 72 hours after infestation.
