An evaluation to help ascertain the fit of transgenic cotton containing the Bollgard gene in ultra-narrow row (UNR) cotton production was located at the Campbell Farm in N. E. Mississippi in 1998 and 1999. No-till plantings of Bt (Bollgard, Monsanto Agricultural Company, 800 N. Lindbergh Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63167) and non-Bt cotton were scouted and treated based on average insect counts of all plots of the same variety. Insect population densities were light both years, and only heliothines received treatment. Non-Bt plots received an average of 2.5 applications of insecticide, and Bt plots averaged 1.0 application. Non-Bt plots maintained in the same field by the cooperator and scouted by a consultant in 2000 received 3 insecticide applications for heliothine management compared to no application on the Bollgard plots. Because of light heliothine population density, income after cost of insect control favored non-Bt cotton.
