The Hargreaves and Samani model was used to estimate monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) for Central Aguirre, Fortuna and Lajas substations and Magueyes Island located on the south coast of Puerto Rico. The model uses maximum, minimum and average temperatures. Daily PET varies from 3.68 to 5.37 mm/day in the region with minimum in December and maximum in July. Annual PET was 1613.3 mm/year for Central Aguirre, 1653.5 for Fortuna, 1846.9 for Lajas, 1857.9 for Magueyes Island, with a regional average of 1704.6. These PET values can be used to estimate crop water requirements for vegetables and fruits, to plan irrigation and water management projects, and to schedule irrigation in the semiarid region of Puerto Rico.

The corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), is the major insect pest of corn, Zea mays L., in Puerto Rico. The objective of this study was to design a sequential sampling plan with fixed precision levels for H. zea (Boddie) in corn fields on the south coast of Puerto Rico. For determining the presence (= 1) or absence (= 0) of H. zea eggs, 25 corn plants were randomly sampled from December 2003 to March 2004. Data were analyzed by using the beta binomial distribution. Critical density levels of 0.10 and 0.08 infested plants, before and after the emergence of ear silks, were used for Iwao's and converging lines formulae. A converging line sampling plan is recommended because it selected a smaller average sample size. This plan can be used to make cost effective control decisions on field corn in Puerto Rico.

Observational and replicated tests with a number of U.S. and European sugarbeet varieties were conducted from 1963 through 1967 at four substations of the Agricultural Experiment Station, University of Puerto Rico. The purpose of the tests was to determine the adaptability of this crop to Puerto Rico as a possible alternative or supplement to sugarcane for sugar production. Best results were obtained with irrigation on the south coast where yields of 3 to 3.5 tons of sugar per acre were recorded. Such yields were considered insufficiently attractive to offset the disadvantages of sugarbeet cultivation with the advantages of sugarcane cultivation. Beets require intensive care, need close daily attention, and are highly sensitive to correct management.
