A study was initiated in 1984 at the Red River Research Station to evaluate the response of cotton to in-furrow applications of Temik-TSX at various planting dates. Deltapine 41 was planted both with and without Temik-TSX on 15 dates from April 4 through May 11, 1984. Results include the effect of Temik-TSX applications on thrips, stand counts, bloom counts, and yield.
