An adult vial test (AVT) was modified to evaluate insecticide susceptibility of the sweetpotato weevil. Phosmet, methyl parathion, bifenthrin, and carbaryl were tested with field collected sweetpotato weevils in 2004. Methyl parathion and bifenthrin were shown to be highly toxic with LC₅₀ values of 0.10 and 0.65 µg/vial respectively. An experimental matrix composed of sweetpotato weevil pheromone and bifenthrin was also evaluated for attractancy in the laboratory and in the field in 2003 and 2004. The matrix was shown to be attractive to male sweetpotato weevils for > 30 days in preliminary trials. In the laboratory, a bioassay was conducted and attractancy of sweetpotato weevils to the matrix material was scored over time. In the field, sweetpotato weevil pheromone trap counts were compared in plots containing the matrix to plots without the matrix following a foliar application of bifenthrin.
