Overview

Randomized trial evaluates foliar insecticides for controlling plant bugs in cotton, suggesting effective management strategies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess the efficacy of various foliar insecticides on tarnished and clouded plant bugs in cotton.
  • Conducted at the West Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center using a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates.
  • Insecticides were applied to flowering cotton infested with plant bugs, and populations were assessed using drop cloth samples.
  • Yield was determined by harvesting the central rows of each plot and analyzed using ANOVA procedures.
  • Vydate, Orthene, Brigade + Orthene, and Bidrin significantly reduced immature tarnished plant bug densities at 2 days after treatment (DAT).
  • At 9 DAT, all insecticides except Centric, Alias + Orthene, and Couraze Max significantly lowered immature plant bug densities.
  • No significant differences in yield were noted among treatments, indicating similar productivity levels.
