A test to evaluate the efficacy of 4 foliar insecticide treatments for control of AW was conducted on first cutting alfalfa at the OARDC Western Branch Station near South Charleston. Plots were 30 X 50 ft with 4 replications in a RCBD. Treatments were applied on 13 May with a custom built sprayer having a boom length of 15 ft and flat spray tip nozzles (TeeJet 8003VS) mounted at 15 inch intervals. The system was calibrated to deliver 32.8 gpa at 30 psi at a tractor speed of 3.5 mph. Abundance of AW larvae was estimated prior to treatment and 3, 7 and 14 DAT by collecting 20 stems per plot, shaking the stem samples in a bucket, and counting the number of larvae collected in the bucket.
