Control of Thrips, 1988


 A small-plot field study was conducted on a commercial farm located near Washington, Okla., to evaluate Thimet for control of thrips on cotton. Two treatments and an untreated check were compared in 4-row by 300-ft plots of cotton planted 24 May in 40-inch rows. Treatments and the untreated control were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Each treatment was applied in the seed furrow at planting time with John Deere applicator boxes. Texture of soil at the test site was medium. Soil moisture at planting time was good. About 0.8 inches of rain fell at the test site within the first 3 wk after planting. Efficacy of treatments was evaluated by inspecting terminals of 20 randomly chosen plants in each plot for numbers of thrips, estimating plant stand by counting plants/10 row-ft at 2 sites in each plot (17 Jun), counting fully expanded leaves on each of 10 randomly chosen plants in each plot (22 Jun), measuring the height of 10 randomly chosen plants in each plot (9 Jul), and counting numbers of squares produced in 20 row-ft in each plot.
