Abstract
In 1962, wireworms attacking sweet potatoes were found to have developed resistance to widely used cyclodiene insecticides in some areas of North Carolina. DDT controlled resistant wireworms effectively. Diazinon gave poor control of wireworms in sweet potatoes when it was incorporated into the soil prior to planting, but a foliage-surface application during August showed control. During 1963 and 1964 diazinon gave good control of wireworms when applied on the surface late in July at the rate of 3 lb active ingredient per acre in a granular formulation. Applications late in August were less effective. Applications made both in July and August were no better than the July treatment alone. Certain other compounds tested also showed effective control when applied to the surface late in July. Insecticides incorporated in the soil were less effective in organic soils than in sandy soils. Soil type appeared to have little effect on control by surface-applied materials.
