Abstract Crapemyrtle aphid, Tinocallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy), and Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, cause extensive damage to crapemyrtle, Lagerstroemia spp., in both the landscape and the nursery. We evaluated foliar and systemic insecticides for control of these two important pests in a field trial. Aphid control was also evaluated in a separate screen house trial on five cultivars of crapemyrtle. Talstar GH (bifenthrin), Scimitar GC (lambda-cyhalothrin), Merit 75WP (imidacloprid) and Flagship (thiamethoxam) were among the most effective of eleven insecticides tested in the field trial for suppression of concurrent populations of aphids and beetles. Greatest reduction in Japanese beetle damage alone was evident with bifenthrin and lambda-cyhalothrin. Aphid numbers were lowest on plants treated with Orthene TTO (acephate), Merit 75 WP and Flagship in the field trial and Flagship, Talstar GH and Scimitar GC in the screen house trial. Aphid numbers, among the five cultivars included in the screen house evaluations, were highest on ‘Hopi’ and lowest on ‘Acoma’.

Field studies were conducted to evaluate weed control with combinations of glyphosate at 750 g ae/ha and the insecticides acephate (370 g ai/ha), dicrotophos (370 g ai/ha), dimethoate (220 g ai/ha), fipronil (56 g ai/ha), imidacloprid (53 g ai/ha), lambda-cyhalothrin (37 g ai/ha), oxamyl (280 g ai/ha), or endosulfan (420 g ai/ha) and insect control with coapplication of the herbicide with insecticides acephate, dicrotophos, dimethoate, and imidacloprid. Applying lambda-cyhalothrin or fipronil with glyphosate reduced control of hemp sesbania by 19 and 9 percentage points, respectively, compared with glyphosate alone. Acephate, dicrotophos, dimethoate, imidacloprid, lambda-cyhalothrin, oxamyl, and endosulfan did not affect hemp sesbania, pitted morningglory, prickly sida, and redweed control by glyphosate. Lambda-cyhalothrin and fipronil did not affect glyphosate control of weeds other than hemp sesbania. Addition of glyphosate to dicrotophos improved cotton aphid control 4 d after treatment compared with dicrotophos alone. Thrips control was improved with addition of glyphosate to imidacloprid. Insect control was not reduced by glyphosate regardless of insecticide.
