Insecticide Ratings for Cotton

Dec 10, 2024

By Dominic Reisig

Every year, entomologists from the National Cotton States Arthropod Pest Management Working Group are polled on insecticide efficacy. This group consists of university Extension entomologists across the Cotton Belt. The ratings are based on experience of those in the group and, from my perspective, are relatively accurate. Each entomologist is asked to rate the insecticide from 0 to 10, with 0 = not effective and 10 = completely effective.

Responses are also broken out by region (MS= Midsouth, SE= Southeast, W= West). Insect abbreviations are as follows:

BW= bollworm

TBW= tobacco budworm

BAW= beet armyworm

FAW= fall armyworm

SL= soybean looper

CL= cabbage looper

ECB= European corn borer

PBW= pink bollworm

SAW= southern armyworm

SMC= saltmarsh caterpillar

CW= cutworm

G/SG stink bug= green/southern green stink bug
