Abstract Cauliflower was direct seeded into on 21 Sep at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, Az. Each plot consisted of four, 30-ft-long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bordered on each side by two untreated beds. Plots were arranged in a CRB design with 4 replicates. Foliar applications were made on 10 and 14 Oct with a hand-held CO2 sprayer operated at 50 psi, delivering 20 gpa. Spreader-sticker (Kinetic) was included in all spray treatments at a rate of 0.125% of the total volume. Insecticide efficacy was determined by counting the total number of small (1 st and 2nd instars) and large (>2nd instar) CL on 5 randomly selected plants replicate. Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test (P = 0.05) to distinguish treatment mean differences.

Abstract Broccoli was direct seeded into double-row beds on 21 Sep at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ. Each plot consisted of four, 30 ft long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bordered on each side by an untreated bed. Plots were arranged in a CRB design with 4 replicates. Foliar applications were made on 30 Oct and 4 Nov with a hand-held CO2 sprayer operated at 50 psi, delivering 20 gpa. Spreader-sticker (Kinetic) was included in all spray treatments at a rate of 0.125% of the total volume. Insecticide efficacy was determined by counting the total number of small (1 st and 2nd instars) and large (>2nd instar) CL larvae on 5 randomly selected broccoli plants per replicate. A pre-treatment sample was taken on 29 Oct and evaluations were made 5 DAT on 4 and 9 Nov. Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test to distinguish treatment mean differences.

One Way Anova

Abstract Lettuce was direct seeded on 13 Sep. at the University of Arizona Yuma Agricultural Center. Each plot consisted of four, 60-ft-long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bordered on each side by 2 untreated beds. Plots were arranged in a CRB design with 4 replicates. Prior to application of treatments, a Lannate (0.75 lb (AI)/acre) and Karate (0.3 lb (AI)/acre) spray was applied to all plots on 27 Sep to control lepidopterous larvae. Foliar treatments were applied on 10 and 17 Oct with a tractor drawn sprayer operated at 150 psi, delivering 45 gpa. No spreader-sticker was added to any of the spray treatments. Insecticide efficacy was determined by randomly selecting 10 lettuce plants in each replicate and placing them in emergence containers for 3-4 weeks to allow for pupation and emergence of liriomyza and parasitoid adults. Adults were counted and their species recorded. Data were analyzed as a one-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test to distinguish treatment mean differences.

Overhead Sprinkler

Abstract Lettuce was direct seeded on 29 Nov at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ. into double row beds on 42 inch centers and stand establishment achieved using overhead sprinkler irrigation. Subsequent irrigations and chemigations were made with sub-surface (6-8”) drip irrigation. Plots consisted of 4 beds, 50 feet long with a two bed buffer between the plots. Plots were arranged in a RCB design with four replications. The four Admire 2F chemigation treatments were applied once 54 d after planting (23 Jan) through the drip system during the last hour of the irrigation run. The two Metasystox-R chemigation treatments were applied through the drip three times on 23 Jan, 1 and 8 Feb. The foliar Metasystox-R + Capture treatment was applied at 60 PSI in 20 gpa total volume on 23 Jan, 1 and 8 Feb. Insect data were collected only from the inner two beds of each plot. Aphid densities were estimated bi-weekly by sampling 10 plants per replicate and counting the total number of aphids per plant. Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test to distinguish treatment mean differences.

Abstract Lettuce was direct seeded into double-row beds on 9 Sep at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, Az. Each plot consisted of four, 30 ft long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bordered on each side by an untreated bed. Plots were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replicates. Foliar applications were made on 22 and 30 Sep and with a hand-held CO2 sprayer operated at 60 psi, delivering 20 gal/acre. Spreader-sticker (Kinetic) was included in all spray treatments at a rate of 0.25% of the total volume. Insecticide efficacy was determined by counting the total number of small (1st and 2nd instars) and large (>2nd instar) BAW and CL larvae on 20 randomly selected lettuce plants per replicate. Insect counts were conducted the day of application, 22 and 30 Sep, and at 3 days after treatment, 30 Sep and 3 Oct. Treatment differences among means were estimated with the Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsch multiple F test.

Abstract Cantaloupes were direct seeded on 9 Mar into pre-irrigated beds spaced 80 inches apart at the University of Arizona, Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ. Plots consisted of 4 beds, 60 ft long with a 13 ft buffer between plots. Plot preparation and seasonal maintenance followed local practices. Plots were established and insecticide incorporated with furrow irrigation. Plots were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replicates. Foliar applications were made with a tractor drawn sprayer that delivered 48 gpa at 320 psi on 13 Apr, 3, 17 May. Adult efficacy was assessed by counting the number of adults per leaf from each of 10 leaves per plot, 1 day before treatments were applied and 4, and 7 days after treatment. Because of heterogeneity of mean variances, insect data was first transformed (log10 x + 1) before analysis of variance. Treatment differences among means were estimated with the Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsch multiple F test.

This study proposes an approach for determining appropriate sample size for Welch's F test when unequal variances are expected. Given a certain maximum deviation in population means and using the quantile of F and t distributions, there is no need to specify a noncentrality parameter and it is easy to estimate the approximate sample size needed for heterogeneous one-way ANOVA. The theoretical results are validated by a comparison to the results from a Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation results for the empirical power indicate that the sample size needed by the proposed formulas can almost always achieve the desired power level when Welch's F test is applied to data that are conditionally nonnormal and heterogeneous. Two illustrative examples of the use of the proposed procedure are given to calculate balanced and optimal sample sizes, respectively. Moreover, three sample size tables for two-, four-, and six-group problems are provided, respectively, for practitioners.

Abstract Broccoli was direct seeded into double-row beds on 19 Sep at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, Az. Each plot consisted of four, 30 ft long beds spaced 42 inches apart and bordered on each side by an untreated bed. Plots were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replicates. A single foliar application was made on 15 Oct with a hand-held CO2 sprayer operated at 60 psi, delivering 20 gal/acre. Spreader-sticker (Kinetic) was included in all spray treatments at a rate of 0.25% of the total volume. Insecticide efficacy was determined by counting the total number of small (1st and 2nd instars) and large (> 2nd instar) BAW and CL larvae on 10 randomly selected broccoli plants per replicate. Insect counts were conducted the day of application, 15 Oct, and at 4 days after treatment, 19 Oct (4 DAT).
