Extent of Bollworm and Sucking Pest Damage on Modern and Traditional Cotton Species and Potential for Breeding in Organic Cotton [PDF]

open access: yesSustainability, 2019
Resistance against cotton bollworm is one of the main arguments for the use of genetically modified (GM) Bt cotton around the globe. The use of GM is prohibited in organic systems and thus the remunerative value of organic cotton cultivation depends on

Bollworm Control, 1986

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1988
Abstract Four individual tests were conducted to compare control of cotton bollworm (CBW) using the biological insecticides Dipel ES and DiBeta with the synthetic pyrethroid Ammo. 'G&P 3774' was planted 29 Apr and standard cultural practices were followed.

Field-Evolved Resistance to Bt Cotton: Bollworm in the U.S. and Pink Bollworm in India

Southwestern Entomologist, 2010
Abstract. Some field populations of bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), in the southeastern U.S. have evolved resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) toxins Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab produced by transgenic cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. Decreased susceptibility to Cry1Ac, the toxin in first-generation Bt cotton (Bollgard), was detected in laboratory ...

Status of resistance to Bt cotton in China: cotton bollworm and pink bollworm.

2015
Abstract Transgenic cotton that expresses a gene derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been deployed for combating the cotton pests Helicoverpa armigera and Pectinophora gossypiella since 1997 in China. The pest management tactics associated with Bt cotton have resulted in a drastic reduction in insecticide use.

Early detection of field-evolved resistance to Bt cotton in China: Cotton bollworm and pink bollworm

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2012
Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins kill some major insect pests, but pests can evolve resistance and thereby reduce the effectiveness of such Bt crops. The main approach for slowing pest adaptation to Bt crops uses non-Bt host plants as "refuges" to increase survival of susceptible pests. To delay evolution of pest resistance

Studies on the Cotton Bollworms in the Sudan

Zeitschrift für Angewandte Entomologie, 1972
AbstractFlower buds of cotton were never attacked by the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella Saund. The lowest mean of buds containing spiny bollworms Earias insulana (Bois) was observed in Sevin‐treated plots (0.34%), the highest (4.33%) being recorded in the control.

Bollworms, genes and ecologists

Nature, 1999
A laboratory strain of pest that is resistant to a bacterial toxin engineered into cotton takes longer to develop than the non-resistant form. The implication of these new ecological research results is that the ‘refuge strategy’ of reducing the emergence of resistance to genetically modified crops may be flawed.

The Pink Bollworm of Queensland

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1926
The name Platyedra scutigera is proposed for a cotton insect of Queensland, previously reported as P. gossypiella. Its larval and pupal stages are described and notes on its bionomics and distribution are given.There are at least four distinct species of Platyedra in Australia, P.

Bollworm Ovicide Trials, 1988

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1989
Abstract Cotton was planted 25 May at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Munday. Azinphosmethyl at 0.28 kg (AI)/ha was applied 26 Jul to eliminate predators and parasites from the plots. Plots were fertilized before planting with 112 kg nitrogen/ha and irrigated 27-29 Jul.

EFFECTS OF CYCLOPROPANOID AND CYCLOPROPENOID FATTY ACIDS ON GROWTH OF PINK BOLLWORM, BOLLWORM AND TOBACCO BUDWORM

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1982
The effects of dietary methyl esters of cyclopropanoid and cyclopropenoid fatty acids on the growth of larvae of the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella, the bollworm, Heliothis zea and the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens, was investigated. The major cotton cyclopropenoid, malvalate, had an ED50 of 0.28% for larvae of P. gossypiella, 0.64% for
