Abstract Cotton was planted 2 Jun into plots consisting of 4 rows (40 inch centers) × 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in an RCB design with 4 replications. Applications were made with a high clearance sprayer and compressed air delivery system calibrated to deliver 6 gal total spray/acre through Teejet X- 8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 46 psi. Insecticide treatments were applied on 12, 15, 22 Aug. Methyl parathion 4 EC (0.33 lb (AI)/acre) was applied on an “as needed” basis for boll weevil control. Treatment efficacy was determined by examining 50 squares for evidence of damage. The center two rows of each plot were mechanically harvested on 12 Oct to estimate seedcotton yields. The test area received 0.11, 1.9 and 0.13 inches rainfall on 13, 20, 21 Aug, respectively. Supplemental irrigation was provided by an overhead system sprinkler “as needed” during the season, but not within 48 h of treatment applications.

Abstract Cotton was planted 2 Jun with plots consisting of 4 rows (40 in centers) × 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCBD and replicated 4 times. Applications were made with a high clearance sprayer calibrated to deliver 6 gal total spray/acre through Teejet X-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 45 psi. Insecticide treatments were applied on 4, 9, 20, 31 Aug. Methyl parathion 4 EC (0.33 lb [AI]/acre) was applied to all plots on 24 and 28 Aug to reduce boll weevil infestations. Efficacy was determined by examining 50 plant terminals and squares per plot on 6, 13, 23 Aug and 2 Sep for evidence of damage and the presence of bollworm-tobacco budworm larvae. The data reported for bollworm-tobacco budworm and boll weevil damage are a summary of trial means across sample dates. High numbers of soybean looper and beet armyworm larvae were observed in the plots during Sep and visual defoliation ratings were estimated to evaluate differences among treatments. Each plot was scored as follows: 0 (no feeding damage), 1 (feeding damage within the lower Vi of the plant), 2 (feeding damage in the lower Vi and middle Vi of the plant) or 3 (feeding damage throughout the plant). The plots were mechanically harvested on 17 and 24 Oct to estimate seed cotton yields. The test area received 2.0 inches rainfall on 6 Aug, 0.5 inch on 20 Aug, and 0.3 inch on 28 Aug. Supplemental moisture was provided by sprinkler irrigation "as needed" during the season but not within 48 h of treatment applications.

Abstract Cotton was planted in a Gigger-Gilbert silt loam on 2 Jun. Plots consisted of 4 rows on 1.02 m centers × 15.2 m. Treatments were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Field preparation and plot maintenance followed conventional cultural practices. Plots were irrigated to maintain satisfactory soil moisture. All treatments were applied with a high clearance sprayer equipped with a CO2 charged delivery system calibrated to deliver 56.1 liters total spray/ha through TX-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 3.2 kg/cm2. Treatments were applied on 2, 5 and 16 Aug and evaluated on 5, 9 and 20 Aug (3, 4 and 4 DAT respectively) by visually examining 25 terminals per plot (randomly selected from middle 2 rows of each plot) for eggs, damage and live larvae and 25 squares per plot for live larvae and bollworm-tobacco budworm and boll weevil damage. The center 2 rows of each plot were mechanically harvested on 8 Oct to estimate seed cotton yields. The plots received 5.3 cm rainfall on 6 Aug and a trace of rainfall on 18, 19 and 20 Aug. Methyl parathion 4E (0.37 kg [AI]/ha) was applied on 23 Jul and 10, 24 and 28 Aug to all plots for boll weevil suppression.

Abstract Six insecticide treatments were evaluated at the Macon Ridge Branch of the Northeast Research Station, Winnsboro, LA, to determine their efficacy in controlling the bollworm/tobacco budworm complex and boll weevils. Cotton was planted 18 Jun in plots consisting of 4 rows (40 inch centers) × 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Treatments were applied with a high clearance sprayer calibrated to deliver 6 gal total spray/acre through Teejet X-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 46 psi. Insecticides were applied on 22, 26 Aug and 1 Sep against established populations of bollworms, tobacco budworms (primarily tobacco budworms) and boll weevils. Efficacy of the various treatments against these species was determined on 25, 31 Aug and 7 Sep by examining 50 squares/plot for evidence of feeding damage. Also numbers of larvae per 50 squares were recorded for the bollworm/tobacco budworm complex. The plots were mechanically harvested on 25 Oct to determine seed cotton yields. The test area received 0.57 and 0.20 inches rainfall on 1 and 6 Sep, respectively.

Abstract A small-plot trial was conducted at the Red River Research Station, Bossier City, LA, to determine the efficacy of selected insecticides in controlling the bollworm/tobacco budworm (BW/TBW) complex on cotton. The experimental design was a RCB with 4 replications. Plots were planted 9 May and were 4 rows X 100 ft on 40-inch centers. All plots had Temik 15 G (0.5 lb [AI]/acre) applied in-furrow at planting. Prior to trial initiation, plots were oversprayed for cutworms on 6 Jun (Karate 1 EC at 0.025 lb [AI]/acre); boll weevils on 9, 13, 18 Jun and 3 Jul (Vydate C-LV at 0.25 lb [AI]/acre); BW/TBW on 27 Jun (Baythroid 2 EC at 0.03 lb |AI]/acre), and 11 Jul (Karate 1 EC at 0.03 lb [AI]/acre); and for aphids on 17 Jul (Provado 1.6°F at 0.047 lb [AI]/acre). Insecticide test materials were applied on 14, 21, 28 Jul, 5 and 14 Aug in 5.9 gal total spray solution/acre at 60 psi with TX-3 hollow-cone nozzles spaced 20 inches apart (2 noz-zles/row). Treatments were applied with a high-clearance sprayer equipped with a CO2 system for spraying small plots. Infestations of BW/TBW larvae and square damage were monitored on 17, 24, 31 Jul, and 7 Aug by examining 25 squares/plot. Following the trial, all plots were oversprayed for BW/TBW on 22 Aug with Karate 1 EC plus Curacron 8 EC at 0.028 + 0.75 lb [AI]/acre. Boll weevil eradication sprays with weekly applications of ULV Malathion (12 oz product/acre) were begun the week of 18 Aug. Yields were determined by mechanically harvesting the center 2 rows of each plot on 7 Oct.
