Materials and Methods: The number of Fall armyworms, heliothine larvae, and yellow striped armyworms in bolls was recorded three days after treatment. Singnificant rainfall occurred within one hour after application, no doubt reducing the efficacy of insecticides.

Discussion: This test was applied just prior to rain and should probably be considered only as an evaluation of rainfastness. There were no significant differences in the number of Fall armyworms, heilothines, or yellow striped armyworms.
