Insecticidial Control of the Sweet Potato Whitefly in Cototn

Abstract

Four field experiments were conducted to evaluate efficacy of a number of registered or experimental insecticides against the sweet potato white fly. Several materials gave encouraging results under unusually high population densities. Among the more effective treatments in one or more tests were: Capture, Danitol, NTN 33893, pyriproxyfen and SN 85292, and combinations of Capture +endosulfan, Capture +Ovasyn and Danitol +Orthene.
