TI - The relative efficiency of some pesticides and fertilizers on cotton crop: I. interaction effects of fertilizer type and some insecticides on bollworms infestation and cotton quality KW - Cotton KW - Fertilizers KW - Diseases and pests KW - Insecticides KW - Pink bollworm KW - Control N1 - Includes reference N2 - The present field study was carried out on cotton variety Giza 70 during the seasons of 2002 and 2003 to evaluate the interaction effects of applied mineral and I or biofertilizers with certain pesticides against the cotton bollworms, besides, the final combined effect of these treatments on the cotton yield and yield losses.The least bollworm infestation reduction values were obtained in case of application of Larvin® with both types of tested mineral and bio-fertilizers in season of 2002 and 2003. Comparatively, the treatment of Karate® and sequential application of Dursban® , Larvin® and Karate® pesticides gave the highest infestation reduction with both of fertilization treatments in the growing seasons of 2002 and 2003. Generally, bio-fertllization treatment gave higher reduction than the mineral one in both seasons. The highest value of cotton yield was obtained in case of pesticides sequential spray under the two tested types of fertilization. Whereas, the values of loss In bolls were found to be greatly lower than that in untreated check UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2007/AAR/1207/1/115.pdf ER -
