Efficacy of Insecticides Against Cotton Pink Bollworm <i>Pectinophora Gossypiella</i>(saunders)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A field study assessed the efficacy of insecticides against pink bollworm cotton. Spinosad 45SC treated cotton had lowest infestation at 23.95% in first spray, while cypermethrin 25EC a 26.06% second spray. Emamectin benzoate 5SG and spinosad were most potent for locule damage reduction. 70.54% mortality 76.2% 5SG, 45SC, effective overall.

Delayed resistance to transgenic cotton in pink bollworm.
Transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins kill some key insect pests and thus can reduce reliance on insecticides. Widespread planting of such Bt crops increased concerns that their usefulness would be cut short by rapid evolution of resistance to Bt toxins by pests. Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) is a major pest that has experienced intense selection for resistanc...
متن کاملThe Halo Effect: Suppression of Pink Bollworm on Non-Bt Cotton by Bt Cotton in China
In some previously reported cases, transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have suppressed insect pests not only in fields planted with such crops, but also regionally on host plants that do not produce Bt toxins. Here we used 16 years of field data to determine if Bt cotton caused this "halo effect" against pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) in s...
متن کاملHybridizing transgenic Bt cotton with non-Bt cotton counters resistance in pink bollworm.
Extensive cultivation of crops genetically engineered to produce insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has suppressed some major pests, reduced insecticide sprays, enhanced pest control by natural enemies, and increased grower profits. However, these benefits are being eroded by evolution of resistance in pests. We report a strategy for combating resistance by cro...
متن کاملDNA screening reveals pink bollworm resistance to Bt cotton remains rare after a decade of exposure.
Transgenic crops producing toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) kill insect pests and can reduce reliance on insecticide sprays. Although Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and Bt corn (Zea mays L.) covered 26 million ha worldwide in 2005, their success could be cut short by evolution of pest resistance. Monitoring the early phases of pest resistance to Bt crops is crucial, but ...
متن کاملDiminishing Returns from Increased Percent Bt Cotton: The Case of Pink Bollworm
Regional suppression of pests by transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been reported in several cropping systems, but little is known about the functional relationship between the ultimate pest population density and the pervasiveness of Bt crops. Here we address this issue by analyzing 16 years of field data on pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypi...
