t0“on Sweet Corn in Florida”
e0“for effectiveness in controlling the corn earworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), and the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith)”
e1“A combination spray containing only 0.125 Ib AI/acre of each methomyl and chlordimeform appears very promising for controlling both insect species as it was highly effective in the spring and fall”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The fall armyworm was the more abundant species on sweet corn.
- Intervention effect Chlorpyriphos, leptophos and tetrachlorvinphos gave good worm control on sweet corn when used alone, compared with methomyl.
- Intervention effect Bay NTN 9306 gave good worm control on sweet corn when used alone, compared with methomyl.
- Intervention effect TH 6040 at 0.2 lb AI/acre was inadequate for control on sweet corn ears.
- Intervention effect FMC 33297 at 0.15 lb was inadequate for control on sweet corn ears.
- Intervention effect Toxaphene used singly was not very effective on sweet corn.
- Intervention effect Toxaphene combined with methomyl or methyl parathion gave good control on sweet corn, compared with toxaphene used singly.
- Intervention effect Chlordimedant was of little value on sweet corn when used with toxaphene.
