Insecticide Efficacy for Root Weevil on Strawberry, 1997 [PDF]
Arthropod Management Tests, 1998 Abstract Treatments were replicated four times in a 2-year-old ‘Rainier’ strawberry field in La Center, WA. Plots measuring 3 rows wide and 25 ft long were arranged in a RCB design. Sprays were applied on 6 Jun with a tractor-mounted 6-tank plot sprayer with a 3-row boom using 3 D4-45 TeeJet nozzles per row at 150 psi, delivering 100 gal/
