BEAN LEAF BEETLE CONTROL WITH SEED TREATMENTS IN BEANS

MATERIALS: MAXIM XL 324FS (fludioxonil + mefenoxam, 231 + 93 g ai/L); COUNTER 15G (terbufos, 15% w/w); AGROX DL Plus (lindane + captan + diazinon, 25% + 15% + 15% w/w); ADMIRE 240 FS (imidacloprid, 240 g ai/L); FORCE 3G (tefluthrin, 3% w/w); GAUCHO 600 FS ( imidacloprid 600 g ai/L); R00exp-01 600FS ( 600 g ai/L); CRUISER 600 FS (thiamethoxam 600 g ai/L). METHODS: Seed was treated in 1 kg lots in individual plastic bags by applying a slurry (all treatments diluted in water to the same volume of 3 ml per kg) of the material via a syringe to each bag. The seed was then mixed for 1 min to ensure thorough seed coverage. In-furrow granular insecticides were applied at planting using a Noble® applicator. In-furrow insecticides were applied by a single nozzle (Teejet 400 2E) mounted between the disk openers of the planter using a CO2 plot sprayer delivering 131.5 L/ha of water. Beans were planted on May 5, 2000 in Woodstock at a seeding rate of 40 seeds per m using a two-row cone-seeder mounted on a John Deere Max Emerge planter. Plots were single rows 10 m in length and spaced 0.76 m apart arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Bean leaf beetle damage was assessed on 13 June, 2000 when plants were at the first trifoliate stage. Assessment was a product of incidence (% of plants showing damage) X severity (average % leaf area damaged of those leaves showing damage). Both were estimated visually with the aid of CDA Publication 1458 (1971) assessment key 24. RESULTS: The results are presented in Table 1. CONCLUSIONS: Bean leaf beetle damage was reduced significantly by CRUISER, AGROX DL Plus, and R00exp-01 seed treatments, by COUNTER applied in-furrow and by ADMIRE applied at the highest rate in-furrow.
