Gaucho 480 Seed Treatment Insecticide was evaluated across different areas of the Mid-South to determine the effects of different soil types and environmental conditions. Gaucho performed well across many different soils types, including sandy loam and silt loam soils. Environmental conditions across the Mid-South were relatively warmer with less soil moisture than normal. Gaucho 480 at 8-fl. oz/cwt. reduced the number of adult and immature thrips and the amount of thrips damage. It also increased cotton yields when compared to the untreated check.
