WideStrike™ Efficacy for Control of the Bollworm/Tobacco Budworm Complex
S. Micinski, J.a. Hayes, and H.L. Spaulding. LSU AgCenter, 262 Research Station Drive, Bossier City, LA 71112
Two trials were conducted in 2006 at the Red River Research Station in Bossier City, LA (Bossier Parish) to assess the efficacy of WideStrike™ cottons in controlling the bollworm/tobacco budworm (BW/TBW) complex under field conditions. The first trial was designed to evaluate WideStrike™ cotton (PHY 485 WRF) for BW/TBW control compared to a non-Bt cotton (PHY 415 RF) and a Bollgard II cotton (STN 4554 B2RF) under sprayed (based on thresholds) and non-sprayed conditions. The second trial was designed to evaluate four WideStrike™ cotton varieties (PHY 370 WR, PHY 470 WR, PHY 480 WR, and PHY 485 WRF) for BW/TBW control compared to 2 non-Bt cottons (PHY 310 R and PHY 425 RF) and a Bollgard II cotton (STN 4554 B2RF) under non-sprayed conditions. Results from both of the trials will be discussed.
