Control of Lepidoptera Pests in Cotton with Intrepid™ Experimental Insecticide

W.E. Harrison, L.C. Walton and A.E. Duttle


 
ABSTRACT

Intrepid insecticide was evaluated for control of lepidopterous pests in cotton during the 1994-1996 growing seasons. The focal point of this research was to evaluate control of Heliothis virescens and Heliocoverpa zea larvae. During the course of these studies, efficacy data on foliar pests, cabbage and soybean looper, was also obtained. Intrepid was evaluated at 0.2-0.4 lb ai/acre alone and at 0.2-0.3 lb ai/acre in tank mixtures with Larvin, Curacron, and pyrethroids. Results from these studies indicated that Intrepid was equal to or better than the commercial standards for the control of the Heliothis complex. Control of the foliar feeding pests, cabbage and soybean looper, was excellent.
