ABSTRACT
LEVERAGE™ insecticide treatments were made on five demonstration plots each by a different agricultural consultant. Treatments were evaluated for efficacy against cotton aphids, tarnish plant bugs, bollworms, and boll weevils. All of these are key pests in Arkansas and with the Boll Weevil Eradication Program starting in most of the state we can expect to see more aphid problems in the first years of the program (M.B. Layton 1999). Year after year there are times when cotton fields have a complex of insects at threshold levels.
