To manage early-season insect pests of cotton, a study was conducted at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Lubbock, TX. Early-season cotton pests (thrips and fleahoppers) were released on dryland and irrigated cotton. Control plots were sprayed to keep plants free from pests. Results from this study will be presented at Beltwide conferences in 2019.
