Ovicidal Properties of Leverage® for Bollworm in Cotton

John All, Kurk Lance and Kim Lohmeyer


 
ABSTRACT

Two greenhouse and two field experiments were conducted near the University of Georgia, Athens, to evaluate the heliothine ovicidal activity of three products produced by Bayer Corporation; Provado® 1.6 SC (1.6 lb ai imidacloprid/gallon), Baythroid® 2.0 EC (2.0 lb ai cyfluthrin/gallon) and Leverage® 2.7 SC (1.6 lb ai imidacloprid and 1.1 lb ai cyfluthrin/ gallon). All three products were ovicidal for 24 to 48 hours and retained activity following 1.36 inches of rain during one of the field tests. Results indicated that toxicity of the products to heliothine eggs may decrease after 48 hours in field environments.
