Control Of Insects In Cotton, D G. Shedley, D. L. Hardy, P. J. Michael
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Results of two experiments at the Ord Irrigation area in 1968 indicate that farmers may be spending more than necessary to obtain economic control of cotton pests in some seasons.
One experiment clearly demonstrated the relationship between low insect numbers and improved cotton yields—the second indicated that a moderate but well timed spray schedule, especially during the early part of the season, can result in more economic insect control than an intensive spray schedule.
