Fury 1.5 Insecticide: A New Synthetic Pyrethroid for Cotton Insect Control

H.R. Mitchell and L.D. Hatfield


 
ABSTRACT

Fury 1.5 Insecticide is a new broad spectrum pyrethroid. It has been extensively tested in the field since 1988 on cotton under the code name FMC-56701. In 1991, FMC Corporation was granted an EUP/TT to evaluate Fury under commercial conditions across the cotton belt. Results of the 1991 EUP/TT program demonstrated that Fury at 0.0375 lb ai/A will provide bollworm/budworm, pink bollworm, boll weevil and plant bug control equal to or better than that of Karate, Baythroid, Asana XL and Scout X-tra at 0.028, 0.03, 0.034 and 0.019 lb ai/A, respectively. Fury will also provide superior aphid suppression to that of these pyrethroids. Excellent insect control with Fury also resulted in greater yields than that of the standard pyrethroids.
