Four insecticides were evaluated for efficacy against tarnished plant bug and meadow spittle bug in a commercial strawberry planting at Moreland, Ohio. Plots consisted of an 18-ft2 area, with 6 replicates per treatment in a randomized block design. Treatments were applied as foliar spray at the rate of 100 gpa (935 1/ha) on 28 May, using a hand-held constant-pressure CO2 sprayer operating at 45 psi (3.2 kg/cm2) and equipped with a 9505-E-Tee Jet nozzle. On 6 Jun, plots were examined for spittle bug masses and the number present recorded. On 10 Jun, plots were checked for tarnished plant bug damage (button berries) and the number per plot was recorded.
