In 2006, rynaxypyr was evaluated in three studies for control of heliothines. In the first trial, ryanxypyr was applied at different rates to conventional non-bt cotton in comparison with Tracer (spinosad), Tracer and Capture (bifenthrin) tank mixed, and a Bollgard II variety. In the second trial, rynaxypyr was applied at different rates to Bollgard cotton in comparison with Asana XL (esfenvalerate), Capture and Orthene (acephate) tank mixed, Capture alone, and Tracer and Capture tank mixed. In the third trial, rynaxypyr was applied at a single rate in comparison with selected compounds.
