Abstract

literally hundreds of chemicals have been evaluated for possible use as systemic insecticides in an extension research program aimed at integrated pest control for cotton. This research-sponsored and financed largely by the Cotton Producer's Institute-promises to reduce insect-caused crop losses and extra production costs for cotton estimated at nearly $300 million annually in the United States.
