Insecticides
Green mirid, Silverleaf whitefly and Two spotted mite are significant pests that cause significant challenges to cotton production.
Green mirids (Creontiades dilutus) are a significant concern in cotton-growing regions, where their feeding can lead to boll damage and reduce the overall quality of the cotton crop. Silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) a major pest of cotton, damage from SLWF leads to cotton lint being contaminated with honeydew. Two spotted mites (Tetranychus urticae) are notorious for their ability to rapidly reproduce and feed on plant foliage, causing stippling, discolouration, and overall plant stress.
Some of the ADAMA range of insecticides for use in Cotton targeting these pests include Skope®, Primal® and Receptor®.

Defoliants/ Plant Growth Regulators
Timely application of plant growth regulators helps to manage excessive vegetative growth and plant architecture, whilst effective defoliation is imperative to ensuring timely picking, maximising yield, quality and returns. ADAMA offers an extensive range of industry-leading cotton defoliants and plant growth regulators, including Escalate®, Escalate® UltraMax, Promote® Plus 900 and RX-380™.
Escalate®
For cotton defoliation under warm conditions, Escalate is the ideal choice for defoliation in the warmer northern cotton growing areas.
Escalate® UltraMax
Escalate® UltraMax is a high-load formulation of thidiazuron and diuron, preferred for colder areas and finishes.
Promote® Plus 900
Promote® Plus 900 is a high-load formulation of ethephon – to aid in the accelerated opening of mature bolls and to help in defoliation and pre-conditioning before defoliation of cotton. Helps improve harvest and increases recoverable lint yield and quality.
RX-380™
RX-380™ is a highly concentrated formulation of mepiquat chloride to regulate vegetative growth in cotton. With 380 g/L of mepiquat chloride, RX-380 is a game-changer for the Australian cotton industry, offering benefits of significantly reduced handling and transport.
