This study was conducted in a commercially grown field of pumpkin managed by Owatonna Canning Co., Dodge County, Minnesota. The cultivar ‘Buckskin’ was planted 29 May. Plots consisted of three 25-ft rows on 5-ft centers. Plant spacing was 18 inches. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replications. Treatments were applied to all 3 rows of a plot once (25 Jun) with a CO2-pressurized backpack sprayer fitted with a DG-Teejet 8002 flat fan nozzle, and no screen. The sprayer was calibrated to deliver 25 gpa (233.8 1/ha) at 35 psi (242 kPa). Adios, a cucurbitacin bait formulation, contained 13% carbaryl. Percentage of plants infested and live as well as dead insect counts were determined for the middle row of each plot 26 Jun (1 DAT), 28 Jun (3 DAT) and 2 Jul (7 DAT).
