Widely used at-planting insecticides, Temik and Gaucho seed treatment, were evaluated along side a new insecticide seed treatment, Adage 5FS™, at two rates. More adult and larval thrips were observed in Gaucho and untreated plots, while Temik provided the greatest thrips control. Adage provided good thrips control but appeared to diminish in plants by 28 days after planting. All insecticide treatments resulted in more total lint than no treatment, and Gaucho seed treatment plots produced numerically more lint than Adage- and Temik-treated plots. Adage was competitive with the two standard at-planting treatments and will offer growers an alternative insecticide class for early season insect control.
