Examining Nozzle Effects on Insect Control in Tennessee Cotton

This poster will present data from trials that were conducted examining the effects of nozzles on the control of thrips in seedling cotton in 2016 and plant bugs in blooming cotton in 2015 and 2016 in West Tennessee.  Adoption of newer herbicide-resistant cotton varieties are ushering in the demand for newer nozzle technologies.  Several different nozzle types were used on a sprayer equipped with a pulse width modulating system to determine insect control efficacy.
