Estimates of Insecticide Performance Against Selected Insect Pests of Cotton, Corn, Sorghum, and Soybeans Across the Cotton Producing States of the United States, 2025

Key Points

The aim is to estimate the performance of insecticides against selected pests in key crops across the U.S.
Estimates based on common insecticide rates and field observations.
Data collected through replicated research trials.
Summarized results by region, covering multiple cotton-producing states.
Insecticides were evaluated for effectiveness against various pests in cotton, corn, sorghum, and soybeans.
Performance estimates and trends differ significantly across the Southeast, Mid-South, and West regions.
Selected insect pests have varying presence in different states and regions.

Abstract

Annually the members of the National Cotton States Arthropod Pest Management Working Group estimate insecticide and insect trait performance against selected insect pests in cotton, corn, sorghum, and soybeans across the cotton growing states. These estimates are based on commonly used/recommended rates and from observations collected through field experiences and replicated research trials. Results are summarized by region including the Southeast, MidSouth, West, and across all regions (U.S.). States comprising regions include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia (Southeast); Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee (Mid-South); and Arizona, California, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas (West). Not all pests or crops occur in all regions.
