Different rates of experimental BAS 300 1II were compared with MetaSystox-R for control of blackmargined pecan aphid. Treatments were randomized and replicated 3 times on plots of 4-5 trees each in a 12-yr-old pecan planting at a 30 X 30 ft spacing. Sprays were applied 30 Jul using a Lockwood Hardie Super 40 air blast sprayer with nozzling, pressure and speed adjusted to apply 200 gpa. All live aphids were counted on 12 compound leaves randomly sampled per replicate (36 leaves per treatment) at 3, 7 DAT and weekly thereafter.
