The Economic Contribution of Beneficial Arthropods in a Cotton IPM Program

L. G. Peterson and R. K. Sprenkel


 
ABSTRACT

A field study was designed to compare Tracer™ Naturalyte™ insect control in an IPM cotton program with one that represented a conventional approach by removing beneficial arthropods from one of the plots and maintaining them in the other. Both pest and beneficial arthropod populations were monitored season long providing evidence of the impact of the beneficials as well as the dollar value added in net return per acre to the grower as a result of their presence.
