Fipronil Insecticide for Early Season Thrips Control Across the Cotton Belt

M. Christian, H. Young, H. Yang and L. Olive


 
ABSTRACT

Foliar applications of fipronil 80 WG insecticide were evaluated in 10 states during 1995 for early season thrips control. Fipronil at 0.025 and 0.038 lbs ai/a provided effective and competitive thrips control across all trial locations. Control was comparable to the standards: Orthene at 0.1-0.25 lbs ai/a, Bidrin at 0.2 lbs ai/a and Dimethoate at 0.2 lbs ai/a. All insecticide treatments were usually significantly better than the UTC when larval counts were > 1/plant or total thrips counts were > 2/plant. Fipronil also was efficacious on all thrips species identified.
