We monitored Pima cotton for both nymphs and adults of aphids and whiteflies. After the population threshold was reached we made a total of 2 applications of 17 different pesticides plus a control; 17 days apart to control the populations. After each application all plots were sampled 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 DAT, recording both nymphs and adults, to determine population control.
