The efficacy of selected seed treatment and granular formulations of insecticides was evaluated for Hessian fly control. Winter wheat was planted on 21 Oct at the Bledsoe Research Farm in Pike County, Ga. Plots measuring 25 × 7 ft were established in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Seed was drill planted with a Tye drill in 8-inch rows at 90 lb of seed/acre. Granular insecticides were broadcast immediately after planting with a Gandy bicycle applicator equipped with two 10-inch banders. Granules were incorporated in to the upper 0.5 inches of soil by raking each plot. All plots were sampled 45 days after planting by digging al! plants in 2 random samples of 30 cm of row. The number of tillers and percentage of infested tillers were determined. Data were analyzed with a 2-way analysis of variance and Duncan’s multiple range test.
