“…The organics produced more effective insect control, and higher yields, than inorganic insecticides, such as calcium arsenate [127]. As a result, considerably more cotton acreage was being treated with insecticides than ever before, and organochlorine compounds largely replaced calcium arsenate [134].…”

“…The principal pest insects of cotton are those that attack the bolls or the flower buds (squares) that precede them. Insects of secondary importance are those that attack the leaves, stems and planted seeds [127]. In 1998, 71% of the upland cotton acreage was treated with insecticides.…”

“…The cotton bollworm was recognized as the chief insect pest of cotton in the late 1800's, as cotton moved into Texas, before the occurrence of the boll weevil, which arrived in the 1890's [126] [127]. Tobacco budworm has become a major pest of cotton more recently.…”

Fenoxycarb, an insect growth regulator with juvenile hormone activity: A candidate for Heliothis virescens (F.) control on cotton

Tobacco budworm eggs, deposited on cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) treated with fenoxycarb, do not produce viable larvae. The insects die either at the end of embryonic development or during 1st‐2nd larval instars, even when the larvae hatching on the treated leaves are transferred to untreated plants. This ovo‐larvicidal activity and indications of good foliar persistence make fenoxycarb a promising candidate for the control of tobacco budworm on cotton. This type of application could open new aspects for the control of lepidopterous pests with this novel compound.

Topical and oral activities of imidacloprid and cyfluthrin against susceptible laboratory strains of Heliothis virescens and Spodoptera littoralis

Activity of the newly developed nitroguanidine insecticide imidacloprid against fourth-instar larvae of insecticide-susceptible strains of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens F., and the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) was determined from topical application and oral ingestion tests. The activity of imidacloprid was compared to that of cyfluthrin. The LD,, at 48 h of topically applied imidacloprid was estimated as 7.7 and 36.7 pg larva-' for H. virescens and S. littoralis, respectively. In oral tests, the LC,, at 48 h of imidacloprid incorporated into artificial diet was estimated at 821.0 and 17.7 pg (g food)-' for H. virescens and S. littoralis larvae, respectively. Imidacloprid showed lower contact and oral toxicities to both species than cyfluthrin, but the difference was much less important in ingestion tests. Mortality caused by both insecticides occurred more slowly in dietary exposures than in topical applications, but imidacloprid acted much more rapidly than cyfluthrin in ingestion tests. When incorporated into the diet, imidacloprid did not produce feeding deterrence, in contrast to cyfluthrin which exhibited a slight repulsive/antifeedant effect. Though cyfluthrin was the more active compound against both H. virescens and S. littoralis larvae, imidacloprid acted much more rapidly in ingestion bioassays. However, the level of activity of the compound is not high enough to provide efficient control of cotton insect pest populations in the field.
