Firsthand accounts of how growers use AVICTA
United States

Arkansas

"One of my customers had a 70-acre field that was test of AVICTA Complete Cotton versus a competitive treatment. When visiting his field we saw a lot more vigor and growth out of the AVICTA Complete Cotton. It was a bigger stalk, better root system and two to three inches in height difference. The AVICTA Complete Cotton plant was just healthier all around."
Greg Adams, Wilson, Ark.

"Last year we had a University of Arkansas test plot on our farm and AVICTA Complete Cotton proved itself to us during that test. In the test, there were rows of about every treatment you could have on cottonseed and the AVICTA Complete Cotton out-yielded 7.5 pounds of Temik®. You could tell the difference off of the picker. I’ll continue to use AVICTA Complete Cotton for that reason."
Erick Lyerly, Leachville, Ark.

"We have had to deal with nematodes on our farm for a number of years, which is one reason we use AVICTA Complete Cotton. We have also used Temik, which has been a good product for us, but we really like the convenience of the seed treatment. Protection on the seed is definitely the way to go over other control methods. The convenience is really what has driven us to use seed treatments. Seed treatments have made a big difference on our farm. In addition to nematodes, we also have thrips and the Cruiser® component controls the thrips. That’s the reason we went with AVICTA Complete Cotton."
Matt Miles, McGhee, Ark.


Florida

"I have had excellent results out of AVICTA Complete Cotton. I feel like it is insurance against the nematodes. When using AVICTA Complete Cotton, you also have less handling and I have found I can go over more acres per day when planting. It’s allowed us to plant in a tighter window since we don’t have to stop and fill up the hopper boxes. It’s nice that AVICTA Complete Cotton has everything in one package."
Paul Griswold, Milton, Fla.


Georgia

"I used AVICTA Complete Cotton last year and the main reasons I decided to continue use for this year were convenience and safety. Those are two huge positives. I think it does a good job and is comparable to Temik®, but the convenience gives AVICTA Complete Cotton the edge. I would recommend AVICTA Complete Cotton to anyone. It’s very convenient and I’ve noticed an improvement in uniformity. Using Temik, I had so much trouble with uniformity. You don’t have that problem with AVICTA Complete Cotton."
Jerald Carter, Sylvester, Ga.

"I really like the results I saw with AVICTA Complete Cotton. We’ve always had Rhizoctonia problems in our fields, but when we used AVICTA Complete Cotton, we didn’t have any issues with disease. I’ll continue to use AVICTA Complete Cotton."
Bart Davis, Doerun, Ga.

"I used AVICTA Complete Cotton and it did really well for me. It gave me the comfort of knowing I was getting insect control if I couldn’t get to the field to spray. The best thing about AVICTA Complete Cotton is that it gives multiple controls with a seed-applied product. I would absolutely recommend AVICTA Complete Cotton to another cotton grower."
Ron Everidge, Pinehurst, Ga.

"I feel like AVICTA Complete Cotton really helped with thrips in our field. It worked pretty well for us. We’ll continue to use AVICTA Complete Cotton."
Jared Fiveash, Donalsonville, Ga.

"I enjoy the ease of handling of AVICTA Complete Cotton. You don’t have to worry about the hopper boxes stopping up. It is so simple. It’s just on the seed and you put it in the ground. It wasn’t a hard sell. I was pretty excited when I heard it was coming out, but I was a little skeptical everything could be on the seed. Well, now I’ve really seen the results and I’ll recommend AVICTA Complete Cotton in the future."
Luke Johnson, Donalsonville, Ga.


North Carolina

"After the first year I really thought it worked well because not only does it help with thrips and other insects, but it also protects my cotton crop and seedlings from early-season disease. I found the crop grows off better. You get the cotton coming up and you get the stands. It’s lovely— it keeps growing. We had really good results last year and this year with AVICTA Complete Cotton."
Robert Outland, Rich Square, N.C.

"We compared AVICTA Complete Cotton and Temik and were satisfied that AVICTA Complete Cotton was as good as Temik in controlling thrips. We like the idea of having the AVICTA Complete Cotton being a nematicide, insecticide and fungicide right on the seed and we don’t have any issues now with planting. The thing we like most about AVICTA Complete Cotton is the ease of use. We are now able to cut down the amount of variables that we have to deal with when planting."
Herbert Rouse, Kinston, N.C.

"We like the convenience of AVICTA Complete Cotton because it was always hard to handle Temik®. In dry conditions, I get better control with AVICTA Complete Cotton than when I use Temik. I have been very pleased with the thrips control with AVICTA Complete Cotton, plus we don’t see the usual damping-off."
Gene West, Newton Grove, N.C.

"I watched my neighbors try AVICTA Complete Cotton last year and let them be the guinea pigs. I saw how well it worked for them, so I tried AVICTA Complete Cotton 100 percent this year. I think it works as well as five pounds of Temik. When I went out into the field and compared AVICTA Complete Cotton to Temik, I couldn’t tell the difference. If I were talking to another cotton grower, I would tell them to go ahead and use AVICTA Complete Cotton— try a few bags and compare it."
Scott Wooten, Kinston, N.C.
