Abstract
In further field-plot tests [cf. RAE/A 59, 2403] in western Kansas in 1970, several new and registered insecticides were evaluated either as foliar or soil treatments for the control of biotype C of Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) [cf. loc. cit., etc.]. Single foliar sprays of Dursban (chlorpyrifos) at 0.5-0.75 lb/acre, disulfoton at 0.5 lb, monocrotophos at 0.25 lb, dimethoate at 0.25 lb, carbofuran at 0.5 lb, phorate at 0.25 lb, methyl-parathion at 0.5 lb, Shell SD-17250 (N-((methylcarbamoyl)oxy)thioacetimidic acid ester with 3-mercaptopropionitrile, syn isomer) [also known as S-2-cyanoethyl N-((methylcarbamoyl)oxy)thioacetimidate] at 1 lb, methidathion (Supracide) at 0.5 lb and Cyolane (2-(diethoxyphosphinylimino)-1,3-dithiolane) at 0.5 lb gave high initial control, with various degrees of residual toxicity. However, monocrotophos, methidathion, Cyolane and methyl-parathion were phytotoxic. Both liquid and granular formulations applied in the furrow at sowing time gave excellent initial control; granular materials, however, persisted longer than did liquids. Granules of disulfoton at 0.5 and 1 lb gave outstanding control for at least 10 weeks. No soil treatment at the rates used adversely affected seedling emergence
