| Plant Population: | Overall mean number of plants/33.5' ± SEM Experiment 1: 46.9 ± 0.6 Experiment 2: 45.5 ± 0.8 |
| Phytotoxicity: | There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) among treatment stand count means or among number of abnormal plants/treatment at V2-3 growth stage (Hanway 1997). |
| Insecticide History: | Insecticide free: 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997-1999 Multiclass soil insecticide trials: 1990, 1992, 1995-1996 |
| Species Present: | Northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica barberi Smith and Lawrence, and western corn rootworm, D. virgifera virgifera LeConte. Initial rootworm egg hatch detected 24 May 2000 (predominantly western corn rootworm) |
| Root Evaluation: | A 1 - 6 root rating scale (Hills and Peters, 1971) and 0 - 3 root rating scale (Oleson and Tollefson, unpublished) were used to evaluate larval corn rootworm damage in each treatment. Five roots were evaluated in each treatment per replication. (See Nebguide G92-1108-A for the 1 - 6 rating scale description, and the Iowa State University Corn Rootworm Home Page for the 0 - 3 rating scale description.) |
| Root Evaluation Date: | 13 July 2000 |
| Design: | Randomized complete block design Replicated four times Single row treatments |
| Row Length: | 33.5 feet |
| Statistical Analysis: | Root Ratings: Standard ANOVA procedures, LSD test was used for mean separation where statistical differences (P less than or equal to 0.05) occurred. |
