- Intervention effect Malathion controlled cereal leaf beetle larvae when applied after most eggs hatched.
- Intervention effect Methomyl controlled cereal leaf beetle larvae when applied after most eggs hatched.
- Intervention effect Carbaryl controlled cereal leaf beetle larvae when applied after most eggs hatched.
- Intervention effect Spinosad controlled cereal leaf beetle larvae when applied after most eggs hatched.
- Intervention effect Encapsulated Bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin at the lowest labeled rate did not effectively control cereal leaf beetle.
- Intervention effect Methyl parathion at the lowest labeled rate did not effectively control cereal leaf beetle.
- Intervention effect Disulfoton at the lowest labeled rate did not effectively control cereal leaf beetle.
- Intervention effect Low-rate λ cyhalothrin applied during egg laying and before or near 50% egg hatch was most effective.
- Intervention effect Early insecticide applications virtually eliminated cereal leaf beetle injury.
- Intervention effect Defoliation before spike emergence harmed grain yield and yield components more than later defoliation.
- Intervention effect Flag-leaf defoliation caused more damage than injury to lower leaves.
- Association Larval injury did not affect grain test weight in most trials.
- Association Larval injury did not affect kernel weight in most trials.
- Association Each larva per stem was associated with a 12.65% yield loss.
- Association Each larva per stem was associated with a 459 kg/ha yield loss.
- Recommendation The authors proposed an economic treatment threshold of 0.4 larvae per stem from spike emergence to anthesis.
