Abstract
A large population of mites, primarily Oligonychus pratensis (Banks), was reported attacking grain sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, in the Hereford, Texas, Area in 1967. A 2-year study in the Hereford area showed that Supracide® (O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate S-ester With 4-(mcrcaptomethyl)-2-methoxy-∆2-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-5-one) disulfoton (both as granular and ligquid concentrate formulations), and carbophenothion applied at 0.5 lb AI/acre were the most effective treatments. Monocrotophos, diazinion, and ULV Supracide offered some control capabilities at the 0.5 lb AI/acre rate. Applications were made in 1967 and 1968 on sorghum in the early-soft-dough to hard-dough stages of plant growth. It was determined that yields were not significantly in creased by reduction of the mite populations. Observations on parathion-treated fields indicated increased yields after mites were controlled on young sorghum. Higher incidence of plant lodging was observed in heavily infested sorghum fields. Subsequent studies in 1969 near Pecos, Texas, involved 20 acaricides, and Supracide was determined to be signigicantly more effective than the others in controlling the acaricide-tolerant mites which were encountered. Investigations on sorghum conducted in 1970 near Hereford Determined that Supracide remained effective in most cases, but carbophenothion, disulfoton, and parathion were relatively ineffective at 0.5 lb AI/acre. These date indicated that acaricide resistance was increasing in the mite populations. Granular phorate applied at 1 lb AI/acre was found to be effective, and acaricidal activity was increased in sorghum and corn plots that were iriated following application. Yield increases were observed during 1970 in both sorghum and corn plots where effective acaricides were aerially applied.
