TL;DR: Concentrations in flowering structures were well below defined levels of concern thought to cause acute mortality in honey bees, and levels in soil collected during early flowering from insecticide seed treatment trials were generally not well correlated with neonicotinoid concentrations in flowers, pollen, or nectar.

TL;DR: In this paper, nine direct and indirect sampling methods were evaluated for bias, precision, and efficiency in cotton throughout the Mid-South during 2005 and 2006, including sweep-net, drop-cloth, dirty-square, and dirty-bloom sampling methods.

TL;DR: The bioassays suggest that high levels of resistance to thiamethoxam occur in cotton aphid throughout the midsouthern United States, and flonicamid and sulfoxaflor need to be incorporated into a rotation strategy to preserve their efficacy against Cotton aphid.

TL;DR: The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), has become the primary target of foliar insecticides in cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., throughout the Midsouth over the past several years, which prompted a reevaluation of existing action thresholds for flowering cotton under current production practices and economics.

TL;DR: Three economic injury models suggest that the southern green stink bug economic injury level and action threshold for soybeans during R7 stage is generally between nine and 15 stink bugs per row m.
