Estimates assess insecticide effectiveness on key pests in various crops across U.S. regions, suggesting improvements for pest management.
Annually the members of the National Cotton States Arthropod Pest Management Working Group estimate insecticide and insect trait performance against selected insect pests in cotton, corn, sorghum, and soybeans across the cotton growing states. These estimates are based on commonly used/recommended rates and from observations collected through field experiences and replicated research trials. Results are summarized by region including the Southeast, MidSouth, West, and across all regions (U.S.). States comprising regions include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia (Southeast); Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee (Mid-South); and Arizona, California, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas (West). Not all pests or crops occur in all regions.
