dc.description.abstractAn experiment was initiated utilizing a swather based sprayer to determine if miticides applied at cutting would be an effective control method of spider mites in low desert alfalfa hay. Two treatments (Trilogy, Trilogy + Kinetic) were applied the morning of May 23, 2003, to alfalfa with very high numbers of spider mites. Treatments had five replications, with plots sampled on June 2, 9 and 18. Data indicated a severe reduction in spider mite numbers as of June 2 in all treatments (including untreated) thought due to high temperatures experienced shortly after cutting that exceeded lethal thresholds for spider mite survival. Differences in treatments for spider mites or western flower thrips were not noted until June 18, when significantly fewer spider mites were noted in Trilogy treated plots than untreated check plots. Trilogy + Kinetic treatments resulted in numerically fewer spider mites than the untreated check on this sample date, but numerically more than Trilogy treatment.
