​Effective management of tarnished plant bugs in cotton requires an integrated approach based on four key factors: planting date and maturity selection; reduction of alternative hosts near field edges; early utilization of Diamond; and insecticide mixtures and rotating chemistries. Early management is critical and requires fewer insecticide applications.
