The effect of expected price on the management of cotton production Conference Paper

abstract

• The paper applies marginal value product concepts to plant mapping yield distribution data and insecticide cost data. The implications of variable cotton prices on optimal insecticide use is discussed. In general, variable cotton prices and insecticide prices should be accounted for in biological-based management thresholds like X-node-above-white-flower termination rules or economic thresholds for insect pests.
