Insecticides were tested for control of late instar omnivorous looper (OL) larvae on 3-yr-old trees (18 ft x 18 ft spacing) located in San Diego County, Ca. A randomized block experimental design was used with 5 single-tree replicates. Treatments were applied by hand-gun with an FMC hydraulic sprayer on Jul 9 at 400 psi to run-off (ca 3 gal/tree - 300 gal/acre). Treated trees were separated by at least 1 untreated buffer tree on all sides. Treatments were evaluated by examining 40 randomly selected 0L nests/tree for live larvae. Data were subj’ected to analysis of variance after transformation to x.
