The Impact of Temik on Yields and Returns to Cotton in the Midsouth

Fred T. Cooke, Jr., DeWitt F. Caillavet, William P. Scott, and David W. Parvin, Jr.


 
ABSTRACT

A 5-year study of Temik (aldicarb) at a rate of onehalf pound technical per acre resulted in yield increases each year of the study when compared with 3 to 4 applications of Cygon. The study was conducted from 1985 through 1989 and the value of yield increases ranged from $48.37 per acre to $140.93 per acre. When the cost of one-half pound of Temik ($8.69) was subtracted from these increased values, an average value for the five years of the stud was 74.90 per acre.
