Abstract
In cage tests populations of the cotton leafworm (Alabama argillacea (Hbn.)). and the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni (Hbn.)) were seven to ten times as high on Empire, a cotton with extrafloral nectaries, as on nectariless cottons, but the presence of nectaries had little effect on the population of the pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella (Saund.)).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
