ABSTRACT
Stochastic dominance techniques are used to evaluate 32 alternative insect management strategies for cotton. The strategies range from using only seed treatments to a full-season program with alternative pesticides. The analysis selects the "best" overall strategy as well as the "best" strategy given that a particular decision was made at planting. Further, probabilities for selected yield levels are calculated for selected insect management strategies. Results of the analysis indicate that one of the full-season strategies is the dominant strategy.
