Numbers in parentheses indicate the index value associated with that particular factor. Answer 4: Planting SunOleic97R (50) during April 11-19 (20) with a population of 5 plants per foot of row (5) with phorate (5), with twin row pattern (5) and strip tillage (5) would give them an index total of 90 points which places them in the Moderate Risk Category. Therefore, with all other factors minimized for risk to spotted wilt, the combination of susceptible cultivar and early planting prevents being able to get that situation down to a Low Risk. However, with that combination of cultivar and planting date, the grower could very easily get into a High Risk situation.
