Abstract
Adult bollworms, Heliothis zea (Boddie), and tobacco budworms, H. virescens (F.), were confined in small field cages on terminals of field-grown cotton that had bee sprayed (high clearance sprayer) with monocrotophos, carbaryl, carbaryl + molasses, toxaphene + methyl parathion, or toxaphene + DDT either immediateely after the treatment or 53 hours later, mortality was determined after 24 and 48 hours of each exposure. When moths were caged on the treated cotton immediately after treatment, mortality was significantly greater than in the untreated check after either 24 or 48 hours of exposure to all treatments except toxaphene + DDT. When moths were caged on the treated cotton 53 hours after treatment, mortality was significantly greater than in the untreated check after 48 hours of exposure to carbaryl + molasses, or monocrotophos. Thus, the addition of molasses to the carbaryl formulation increased kill and extended tended residual activity.
