A study was conducted in Imperial Valley, CA to evaluate insecticides for control of silverleaf whitefly in cotton. New insecticidal compounds, sucrose octanoate (AVA sugar ester), acetamiprid (EXP61486A)and acetamiprid plus fipronil (TADS1222) were compared to standard whitefly insecticides for efficacy of control of whitefly adults, eggs and nymphs. The whitefly egg and nymph means for the sugar ester treatment were not different from the untreated control. EXP61486A, TADS1222, and Danitol plus Orthene treatments provided the highest levels of control for silverleaf whitefly adults, eggs, and nymphs.
