In 2012 several trials were conducted across Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, to evaluate the efficacy of foliar insecticides for control of Heliothines, primarily cotton bollworm on conventional, Bollgard II, and WideStrike varieties.  In most of the trials the foliar insecticide used was Prevathon (rynaxapyr or chlorantraniliprole). Some trials also included Belt (flubendiamide) or Tracer.
