Soybean Insecticide Ratings
Every year, entomologists from the National Cotton States Arthropod Pest Management Working Group are polled on insecticide efficacy. This group consists of university Extension entomologists across the Cotton Belt. The ratings are based on experience of those in the group and, from my perspective, are relatively accurate. Each entomologist is asked to rate the insecticide from 0 to 10, with 0 = not effective and 10 = completely effective. (Licensed under the Unsplash+ License)
