Abstract
Methomyl in foam produced from Fomex® (principal functioning agents: alcohol sulfates, salts of alkyl and dialkyl 2, 5 diketotetrahydrofuran, alkyl sulfonates, isopropanol, total 54.8%) when applied to sweet corn, cabbage, lettuce, and celery reduced drift but did not change insect control from that obtained with methomyl alone. The insects were beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), fall armyworm, S. frugiperda (J. E. Smith), and a leafminer Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess). Repeated applications of sprays with high rates of the foam agent, whether sprayed with a foam producing nozzle or a regular nozzle, caused marked stunting of sweet corn. Foamspray® (alkyl-omegahydroxypoly (oxyethylene) sulfate, 1, 3 propane diol, coconut fatty acid, ethenol, isopropanol, total 60%) when applied to sweet corn gave the same results as Fomex.
