Tarnished Plant Bug and Boll Weevil Control Trials in the Mississippi Delta

J. T. Robbins, F. A. Harris and R. E. Furr


 
ABSTRACT

Foliar applied insecticide trials were conducted at the Delta Branch Experiment Station, Stoneville, Mississippi, for efficacy on tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), and boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis (Boheman). Effective control was accomplished using several insecticides in cotton. Regent 2.5EC, a new fipronil product, and Actara 25WG provided excellent tarnished plant bug control. Steward 1.25SC gave suppression of plant bugs. Currently labeled and recommended boll weevil insecticides that proved effective were Baythroid 2E and Vydate 2.77L. Bidrin 8L also provided control that was significant against the boll weevil. Monitor 4E suppressed boll weevils but was less effective than other insecticides.
