Stephen M. White, D. Scott Lawson, John P. Koening and Ngoan Ngo


 
ABSTRACT

Novartis Crop Protection has as very broad based product portfolio for the cotton market. The current and future portfolio will include Dual MagnumTM, Caparol®, Action® and CGA-362'622 herbicides; a liquid combination of Ridomil GoldTM and Trifoxystrobin fungicide; and Curacron, DenimTM, FulfillTM, ActaraTM, CentricTM and AdageTM insecticides. This paper will focus on the newer insecticide compounds in various phases of development by Novartis Crop Protection. These active ingredients include thaiamethoxam, pymetrozine and emamectin benzoate. These new active ingredients will provide cotton producers with effective management tools which will control thrips, aphids, flea hoppers whiteflies, and foilar and boll feeding lepidoptera. While at the same time all of these active ingredients have unique properties, which results in minimal impact on non-target organisms and important beneficial insects that occur in cotton agro-eco systems. In addition, due to the fact that these compounds have unique activity spectrums, unique chemical and physical properties, as well as novel modes of action they potentially will be important components of resistance management programs in the future. An efficacy overview in cotton for each products is presented and is a synopsis of data presented at this conference over the past few years.
