Abstract

A 3-year study involving a total of 15 environments was conducted to evaluate the effect of aldicarb on early-season control of tarnished plant bugs, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), and determine what impact this control would have on cotton, Gassypium hirsutum L., yield. Ten of the 15 environments had tarnished plant bug populations sufficient to affect yield. Results from this study show that aldicarb used at 2.24 kg (AI)/ha reduced tarnished plant bugs and increased yield, and aldicarb occasionally increased yield through some unknown mechanism which cannot be explained by reduced numbers of tarnished plant bugs.
