Tomato seedlings were transplanted into 48-inch rows on Aug 2 at the Burden Research Center, Baton Rouge, LA. Single row plots 24 ft in length (12 plants/plot) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. Insecticides were applied with a hand-held CO2-pressurized sprayer delivering 100 gal/acre at 40 psi through a single spray nozzle containing a D-3 disc, No. 25 core, and 16 mesh strainer. Treatments were begun when ca 50% of the plants had set fruit. Applications were made on Sep 27, Oct 9, and 21. Ripening fruit were picked and examined for injury on Oct 14, 18, 27, and Nov 4.
