Ten insecticide treatments were evaluated for efficacy against tarnished plant bugs in cotton at the Macon Ridge Location of the Northeast Research Station near Winnsboro, LA. Cottonseed was planted 1 May in 4 row plots (40 inch centers) X 50 ft. Treatments were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replications. Insecticides were applied on 24 Jul with a high clearance sprayer calibrated to deliver 6 gpa through TeeJet TX-8 hollow cone nozzles (2/row) at 46 psi. Treatments were evaluated 3 and 7 DAT with a standard 15 inch diam sweep net by counting both tarnished plant bug adults and nymphs in a 10 sweep sample/plot. No rainfall was recorded during the test. Data were analyzed with ANOVA, and means were separated according to DMRT.
