Treat when loss of satisfactory
stand is threatened – or in
minimum tillage environment.
Treat when 10 to 25 of these pests
per 100 sweeps are found. Adjust
pre-bloom treatment levels to
maintain between 70 percent and 85
percent first position square
retention.
Control of cotton fleahoppers
usually can be obtained with lower
rates than the rates used to control
other plant bug pests.
Multiply clouded plant bug number
by 1.5 when determining densities
for treatment decisions.
NOTE: Diamond will not control
adults. For adult control, tank mix
with an adulticide. Repeat
applications at seven- to 14-day
intervals as needed to maintain
control.

NOTE: The Cruiser (Avicta)5FS label prohibits the use of a neonicotinoid insecticide (e.g., Centric 40WG, Intruder
WSP, Trimax PRO, and imidacloprid 4) for 45 days after planting (about first square). This recommendation is for
resistance management and also should be practiced with Gaucho Grande treated seed. See Cruiser 5FS label for
detailed restrictions.

Use Pyrethroids With
Caution: Pyrethroid resistance
is prevalent in bollworms in
Louisiana.

Treatment Threshold /
Remarks
Treat when egg masses or small
larvae appear.
Treat stink bugs when one
adult/nymph is found per 6 row
feet, 5 percent adults/nymphs are
found in sweep nets or 15-20
percent of 12- to 16-day-old
bolls have internal injury. Stink
bug populations normally are
clumped in fields. Thus,
numerous samples may be
required to assess infestation.
Before cutout, treat when
loopers cause 30 percent
defoliation. After cutout, treat at
45 percent defoliation.

Use Abamectin with
Caution: Abamectin resistance
in two-spotted spider mites has
been detected in Louisiana.
See bollworm threshold.
Apply when 50 percent of plant
terminals have clustering
whiteflies. Control may require
three to four applications at fiveday intervals.
