Hawthorn lace bug control was evaluated on a pyracantha hedge, treatments were made 8 Aug. Approximately 300 ft of hedge was utilized and the treatments were randomized and replicated 4 times in a randomized block design. Each treatment consisted of a 10-ft section, 4 to 5 ft high. Treatments were made with a FMC DM010 sprayer at 100 psi. Temperature and wind velocity at the time of application was 85°F and 1-6 mph, respectively. Infestations were determined by counting adults and nymphs on 6 inches of terminal branch at 6 locations in each replication.
