> Imidacloprid is applied at approximately 0.04 lb ai/A as a seed treatment in cotton. Imidacloprid applied as an in-furrow spray (Admire Pro), the maximum use rate is 0.33 lb ai/A.  That's 8.25 times more.

This is an entirely valid point. However, if one only applies pesticides as needed, one would expect to use less than if applied as a pre-emptive routine. That is what I meant. And, no, I am not in agribusiness and do not presume to advise anyone who is.
