Abstract
The numbers of diapausing larvae of Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) found in soil and trash in the fall after harvest in cotton were reduced by early irrigation cut-off and chemical termination treatments. Also, the number of moths that emerged the following spring was reduced by the combination of the 2 treatments. The early irrigation termination reduced pink bollworm infestations in bolls and Heliothis spp. oviposition in the fall, but there was no effect due to the chemical termination.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
