Control in Fall Snap Beans, 1988

‘Spurt’ snap beans were seeded into a Sassafras sandy loam field on 1 Aug. Plots consisted of a single row 25 ft long and 30 inches wide replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design; a guard row buffered each treated row. Treatments were applied with a tractor-mounted boom sprayer with a drop nozzle on either side of the row and one centered over the row calibrated to deliver 63 gal/acre at 40 psi operated at 2 mph. Treatments were applied 23 and 30 Sep. All plots were harvested and yields (plot weights) were recorded on 10 Oct, and 100 bean pods/plot were randomly selected and examined for ECB holes and CEW damage.
