Status of IPM and Insecticide Use in Texas Cotton

T.W. Fuchs, Dudley Smith and Rodney Holloway


 
ABSTRACT

A statewide survey of 1552 cotton producers representing 14.4% of the state's 5.45 million acres of cotton was conducted to obtain baseline data on acreage, pest management practices, insecticide use and pests targeted by insecticides. Insecticides were applied on more than 2.7 million acres with two pests, boll weevils and bollworms accounting for 73% of all applications. Four insecticides made up 64% of the 4.2 million pounds of active ingredients applied.
