Thrips can cause significant economic loss to cotton growers during the first 30 days of the crops development. The use of at plant insecticides have aided in the efforts to reduce this risk, however the addition of a foliar insecticide for thrips around 14 DAP has proven to increase yields if thrips pressure is high. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of planting date and tillage on thrips infestations and plant response to a supplemental foliar insecticide at the 1-leaf stage. This study was conducted in 59 fields across 21 counties with the help of ag agents from across Georgia.
