The results of the [2016 Insecticide Efficacy Survey](https://cotton.ces.ncsu.edu/2016-cotton-insecticide-efficacy-survey/) for cotton, corn and soybeans are now available online.

“Extension entomologists are surveyed yearly across the Cotton Belt for how well insecticides and *Bt* crops are working,” said Dominic Reisig, NC State University Extension entomologist. “These results are summarized and formatted in a spreadsheet, which includes responses broken out by region.”

The surveys are conducted anonymously, and respondents are asked to rate insecticides or *Bt* products on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 representing “not effective” and 10 being “completely effective.” Regional responses are shown for the Mid-South, Southeast and West.
