New test reveals early diapause in pink bollworm
California Agriculture, 1993 Through basic research into genetic control of pink bollworm development, we devised a rapid immunological method of determining diapause in pink bollworm larvae - formerly a monthlong process which now requires only 24 hours. This new "ELISA" method has

Evaluation of Cotton for Resistance to Pink Bollworm
, 1990 Cotton cultivars and germ plasm lines were screened for resistance to pink bollworm. Sixteen advanced strains were selected for resistance to pink bollworm and/or high yield potential.

Journal of Agrometeorology, 2022 Pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) is the notorious pest and being a monophagy on cotton, the damage that it causes is alarming. Any changes in the nutritional quality of cotton will have direct influences on pink bollworm.
