Field studies were conducted to evaluate early season thrips management programs in ultra narrow row cotton. Temik was evaluated at 7.5 and 10 lb. per acre and various rates of Orthene treated seed were evaluated with and without supplemental foliar Orthene sprays. In these studies Temik treatments and Orthene treated seed supplemented with foliar sprays significantly reduced thrips populations. Additionally these studies demonstrated that if heavy thrips populations are not controlled, yields will be significantly reduced in ultra narrow row cotton.
