Abstract
The ovipositional response of Heliothis zea (Boddie) to various phenological states of corn, tobacco, cotton, and soybeans is examined and quantified. An ovipositional preference matrix is constructed and a model for the mechanism of adult movement of female H. zea among various hosts and phenological stages is developed and validated with field data.Keywords
