Abstract
Laboratory tests in 1959 showed that a combination spray of phorate and juice from curly top-resistant sugar beets controlled the beet leafhopper, Circulifer tenellus (Baker), and curly top on snap beans. Since then further tests, in which different systemic insecticides and juices from different varieties of sugar beets were used, showed that some insecticides and juices from some varieties of beets were superior to others. Combination sprays of systemic insecticides and sugar also showed promise. The factors involved in these methods of reducing curly top have not been determined.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
