Recorded Presentation

Research was conducted in 10 states across the upland cotton belt (2009-2011) to determine the value of automatic insecticide applications targeted towards thrips. Various scheduled application timings were applied across 3 at-plant treatments-- untreated, Aeris seed treatment, and Temik in-furrow. Data across 19 locations over 3 years will be presented to help shed light on what timings (and under what conditions) automatic insecticide applications are ecomically viable in upland cotton.
