Abstract

Pieplant granular insecticidal treatments were not so effective as pegging treatments for control of Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber. Most effective pieplant materials were aldrin, phorate, and Telodrin® (1,3,4,5,6,7, 8,8-octachloro-1,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-4,7,-methanoisobenzofuran). The following pegging treatments, applied in a 14-in band over the row in 1962, resulted in significantly higher yields: granular parathion, American Cyanamid 43064 (2- (diethoxyphosphinothioylimino) -1, dithiolane), Zinophos (O,O-diethyl O-2-pyrazinyl phosphorothioate), Bayer 25141 (O,O-diethyl O-p- (methylsulfinyl) phenyl phosphorothioate), diazinon, and General Chemical compound 4072 (2-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl) vinyl diethyl phosphate). Diazinon and compound 4072 applied at the prebloom stage in 1963 produced significant yield increases. Bayer 25141, diazinon, Zinophos, compound 4072, AC 43064, parathion, and fenthion gave significant yield increases when applied as row band treatments. Statistically they were all equal in effectiveness when applied at the rate of 2 lb/acre. Sprays applied to the soil were not so effective as the granular formulations. In 1962 and 1963 insecticidal dusts applied on 10- or 15-day schedules were not effective for rootworm control. Peg and pod damage counts made during the 1962 growing season indicated that compound 4072, diazinon, parathion, Zinophos, and Bayer 25141 were the most elfective materials tested. Bioassay of soil samples taken from field treatments throughout the 90-day testing period showed Zinophos and compound 4072 to be the most persistent, Bayer 25141 and parathion slightly less, and diazinon the least. No variety of peanuts recommended in Georgia was found to be resistant to rootworm attack. Tests indicated that Spanish varieties were less damaged by rootworms than Virginia or runner types during 1962 and 1963. The southern corn rootworm passes the winter in south Georgia as an adult, which may be active on warm days during the winter. Each year 3 and perhaps 4 generations occur. They are omnivorous feeders. Under laboratory conditions the incubation period was 7 days, the larval stage 10 days, and the prepupal and pupal stages approximately 10 days.
