The marginal value product principle, which is implicit within biological based management thresholds, implies that the profit maximizing level of any variable input occurs at the intersection of a value of marginal product function and the marginal factor cost function for that input. Researchers applied marginal value product concepts to cotton plant mapping yield distribution and insecticide cost data. Results indicated that either simple or complex decision tools, like COTMAN, are requisite for the accurate evaluation of the worth of late season insecticide sprays. Applying biological thresholds, such as pest density or node above white flower, without accommodating cotton prices and marginal spraying costs were inadequate. 4 refs.
