Abstract

Several insecticides were evaluated for corn earworm control on irrigated sweet corn during 1959-63 in western Kansas. Isobenzan, endosulfan, carbaryl, and DDT were the most effective materials in reducing earworm infestation, Fenthion, UC 8305 (P-chloro-2,4-dioxa-5-methyl-P. Thiono-3-phosphabicyclo (4.4.0) decane), General Chemical GC 3707 (dimethl 3-hydroxyglutaconate dimethyl phosphate), azinphosmethyl, dimethoate, endrin, carbophenothion, and mevinphos gave results superior to the un-treted check but were relatively ineffective.
