The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the new and older insecticidal compounds used against larvae of lepidopterous pests (BAW and AC) on alfalfa grown for hay production under desert growing conditions. An insecticide efficacy trial was conducted at the UC Desert Research and Extension Center on a stand of CUF-101 alfalfa. The experimental design was RCB using four replicates with eight insecticide treatments and an untreated check. Plots were 24 ft wide by 50 ft long. Formulations and rates for each compound are provided and test materials were applied on 18 Aug 2010 at the specified rate equivalencies listed in the tables. Broadcast applications were delivered through 17, TJ-6
