Transform WG is a new insecticide with a novel active ingredient, sulfoxaflor.  It has activity against a broad spectrum of sap-feeding insects.  In western cotton, Transform has been extensively tested for control of plant bugs and aphids in particular.  It has provided excellent control of these pests, including protection of yield.  Transform is also relatively soft on beneficial insects, with no mite flaring observed in research trials.  Trials covering 2008-2012 will be covered in this presentation.
