‘Russet Burbank’ potatoes were planted 21 Apr. at Parma, Idaho in Greenleaf-Owyhee silt loam soil. Each plot consisted of a single row 15 ft long, and treatments were replicated four times in a randomized block design. Sprays were applied on 30 Jun. with a CO2 pressurized hand sprayer at 50 lb/in2 that applied 40 gal spray per acre. Pre- and posttreatment counts were made by walking along the row and recording adults and larvae that could be seen without moving foliage.
