Pink Bollworm Egg-Larval Survivorship in Cotton Treated with Insecticides

Abstract

Pink bollworm egg -larval survivorship in insecticide -treated fields averaged (± SE) 19.8% (± 2.3) for the F2 and F3 generations developing during the primary boll producing time of the year (July and August). These observations have been useful in developing a simulation model of pink bollworm population dynamics.
