The Heliothine complex, comprised of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.), was the major pest complex of conventional cotton varieties in Southeast Arkansas during 2001. The development of resistance to organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids has facilitated the development of new chemistries of insecticides that may aid in controlling this pest complex, and our trials addressed the effectiveness of these new insecticides when compared with existing materials. Overall, Denim, Steward, XR-225, and F0570 provided good control of the Heliothine pest complex, especially when tank-mixed with a pyrethroid such as Baythroid or Asana.
