Data Table Header	Data Source and Derivation
Total Acres	Total number of Acres as reported by NASS
Acres Infested (%)	(CIL reported acres infested / CIL acre harvested)*100
Acres Treated (%)	(CIL reported acres treated/ CIL acre harvested)*100
Insecticide Applications (No./A)	Directly from CIL, except as footnoted
Control Costs ($/A)	(Cost of 1 application)*(number of applications per acre)
% of Total Control Costs	(Cost by insect per acre/Total control cost per acre)*100
Yield Loss (%)	Calculated directly from CIL data as: [Bales Lost / Ave (Bales Lost/% Yield Loss) for each year]*100
% of Total Insect-Related Yield Loss	(Yield Loss by insect/Total yield loss)*100
Lint Price ($/lb)	As reported by NASS (http://www.nass.usda.gov/) *Avalible under "Quick Stats" in the crops section of the US and State Data.
Statewide Economic Loss (for yield; $)	(price per bale based on NASS prices)(calculated bales lost) calculated bales lost =(CIL reported bales lost)(NASS based conversion factor) NASS based c.f.=(bales produced, as reported by NASS)*(bales produced as reported by CIL)
Statewide Economic Loss (for control; $)	(NASS Total acres harvested, sometimes upland, sometimes upland & pima: see footnotes)*(Control Costs)
*CIL= Source is Cotton Beltwide Publications: See References
