Abstract
In the Southern United States, much effort has been devoted to reducing the amount of chemical insecticides applied to cotton. Currently, more insecticides are used annually on cotton than any other crop in this country. Various integrated pest management strategies have been or are currently being investigated and evaluated. Most of these strategies are designed in an effort to reduce the amount of chemicals injected into the environment and to also reduce the annual production costs for cotton producers. This paper reviews and evaluates nine such integrated pest management programs developed for Texas cotton production.
