1 Value of Neonicotinoid Insecticides In MS Cotton Jeff Gore – MSU, DREC, Stoneville

2 What are Neonicotinoids? A class of insecticides that work on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Systemic Nerve Poisons Examples: –Imidacloprid (Admire Pro, Gaucho, Aeris, etc.) –Thiamethoxam (Centric, Cruiser, Avicta, etc.) –Clothianidin (Belay, Nipsit INSIDE, Poncho) –Acetamiprid (Intruder)

3 What are they used for? Seed Treatment: Thrips Foliar Spray: Tarnished Plant Bug, Cotton Aphid

4 Foliar Insect Control: MS Delta Cost ($ per Acre) Bollgard BWE Resistance

5 Applications for Tarnished Plant Bug No. Per Acre

6 Lb ai / A Evolution of Insecticide Use Rates

7 Aphid Applications Correlation Between Lygus Control and Aphid Control Lygus Applications r = 0.8401

8 Mite Applications Correlation Between Lygus Control and Mite Control Lygus Applications r = 0.9634

9 Why is it important to know their value? European Union uses the Precautionary Principle U.S. EPA uses a Risk-Benefit analysis Currently, a lot of research focused on the risks of all insecticides, but little research on their benefits

10 Declining Pollinator Health Several proposed causal mechanisms –Viral pathogens –Parasitic mites –Pesticides Many agrichemical compounds have been detected in honey bee wax and pollen samples of bees managed near agricultural environments.

12 Dow AgroSciences Sulfoxaflor Section 18 in 2012 Section 3 Registration in 2013 0.7-2.88 oz/A True Bugs: cotton aphid, tarnished plant bug

13 Tarnished Plant Bug Key pest of cotton in the Mid-South Average 6-7 sprays per acre annually Highs range from 10-15 Often high rates and tank mixes

15 Objective To determine the value of neonicotinoid insecticides in Mid-South cotton

16 Materials and Methods Treatments: 1) No Neonicotinoids 2) Neonicotinoids 3)Neonicotinoids + Sulfoxaflor Planted: May 20, 2013 – Bollgard II Harvested: October 11, 2013

17 Materials and Methods Plots Scouted twice per week Insects controlled based on MSU recommendations/thresholds All other agronomic practices were the same across treatments (Fertilizer, Herbicides, Defoliant, Irrigation, etc.)
