Belt (flubendiamide) is a new foliar applied insecticide used to control bollworm, Helicoverpa zea, and tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens. A field experiment was conducted in 2006 in Jefferson County, Arkansas to evaluate the efficacy of Belt insecticide compared to existing insecticides to control the heliothine complex. The insecticides selected for this study were Belt at multiple rates, Belt and Larvin (thiodicarb) tank mixed, Larvin alone, Tracer (spinosad), Tracer and Capture (bifenthrin) tank mixed, Denim (emamectin benzoate), and Steward (indoxacarb).
