Effect of Boll Weevil Eradication and Planting Bollgard Varieties on Changes in the Insect Spectrum and Chemistry Needed for Cotton IPM in Alabama

Bradford A. Meyer and Ron H. Smith


 
ABSTRACT

Genetically altered cotton varieties and the elimination of the boll weevil have caused tremendous changes in cotton insect management and control in Alabama. These changes have resulted in lower insecticide use and significant changes in the cotton pest spectrum, which has dictated subsequent changes in scouting techniques, treatment thresholds, and the type of insecticide chemistry needed.
