This research was conducted to determine if the effect of sprayer droplet size (150 – 900 µm), applied through Pulse Width Modulation Technology controlled by pressure, nozzle size, and duty cycle, has an impact on the efficacy of insecticides used to control tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), bollworm, Helicoverpa zea Boddie, and stink bugs in cotton.
