Years of trial results over a period of 46 years, show that aldicarb applied at planting, is still the gold standard, to which other treatments are compared. It typically outperforms seed treatments, particularly under heavy thrips pressure. Studies comparing aldicarb (formerly sold as Temik) have proven longer residual early season pest control, greater plant vigor, higher boll set (in cotton) and generally increased yields across all registered crops.
