Three large plot demonstrations were implemented on conventional cotton varieties in the central Mississippi Delta area to determine the performance and benefits of Provado insecticide on early season plant bug control and fruit retention. The study was conducted by King's Ag Consulting, Inc. which is a private consulting firm. One trial was conducted in 1995 and two trials were conducted in 1996. Timely applications of Provado were applied at pin head square stage and compared to conventional pin head square applications.
