Two field studies were performed in Tennessee to evaluate the effects of plant density and seed spacing on thrips injury to upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). The plant density study consisted of seeding rate treatments that were low, normal, high, and very high, relative to university Extension recommendations. In the plant spacing study, treatments were implemented using nearly identical seeding rates but with relatively uniform seed spacing versus a clumped, “hill-dropped” spacing. In both studies, the seed was either treated with an insecticide (imidacloprid) and a fungicide or only with a fungicide. Due to variable environmental conditions, the results …
