Abstract:
... A technique was developed to infest cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., bolls artificially with eggs of pink boll worm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders). The technique is applicable to both field and greenhouse experimentation. Pink bollworm eggs are suspended in a solution of xanthan gum prepared by dissolving the powdered gum in distilled water. This viscous solution allowed eggs to remain suspend ...

Abstract:
... Oviposition and larval development of pink boll worm (PBW), Pectinophora Gossypiella (Saunders), on a breeding stock of upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., designated AET-5, was compared to that on a commercial cultivar, 'Deltapine 61' (DPL-61), in greenhouse no-choice and free-choice tests, and in field free-choice tests. The field resistance of AET-5 was caused mainly by lower PBW oviposition. ...

Artificial and natural infestation methods were used to separate internal-boll antibiosis from other types of resistance in cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., to the pink boll worm (PBW), Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders). Nine cottons, which included seven Texas race stocks (T-) and a susceptible and resistant check, were planted in field plots at Phoenix, Ariz., in 1979. Green bolls, 14 to 21 days ...

Conventional insecticide applications did not control beet armyworms in the flowers when applications were applied in early morning before the flowers opened. This problem was remedied by delaying applications until fl ...

To manage insect resistance to transgenic crops that express insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends a refuge-based insect resistance management strategy where a percentage of non-Bt (refuge) crop is grown in proximity to a Bt-expressing crop. An important requirement for this strategy is that the toxin exists at a high e ...

Abstract:
... Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., bolls were sampled in commercial fields for stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) injury during 2007 and 2008 in South Carolina and Georgia. Across both years of this study, boll-injury percentages averaged 14.8 ± 0.3 (SEM). At average boll injury treatment levels of 10, 20, 30, and 50%, the percentage of samples with at least one injured boll was 82, 97, 100, and 100% ...

Abstract:
... Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., bolls from 17 field locations in northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, having 20% or greater internal boll damage, were studied to determine the relationship between external feeding symptoms and internal damage caused by stink bug (Hemiptera:Pentatomidae) feeding. In 2006 and 2007, two cohorts of 100 bolls each were sampled at all field locations. T ...

Abstract:
... A 3-yr field study quantified the compensatory ability of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to preflower fruit damage by Lygus hesperus Knight in the Texas High Plains under limited irrigation. Experiments were designed to achieve varying levels of preflower fruit loss by augmenting Lygus bug populations using nymphal bugs reared in a laboratory colony. Treatments included 1) three bugs per plant (3P ...

The ability to monitor verde plant bug, Creontiades signatus Distant (Hemiptera: Miridae), and the progression of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., boll responses to feeding and associated cotton boll rot provided opportunity to assess if single in-season measurements had value in evaluating at-harvest damage to bolls and if multiple in-season measurements enhanced their combined use. One in-season v ...

The verde plant bug, Creontiades signatus (Distant), has been present in south Texas for several years but has more recently been documented as an economic threat to cultivated cotton, (Gossypium hirsutum L. Our studies over 2 yr (2009 and 2010) and two locations (Weslaco and Corpus Christi, TX) investigated feeding-injury of the verde plant bug to a range of cotton boll age classes defined by bol ...

Field experiments and supporting laboratory work were conducted to characterize the ability of the verde plant bug, Creontiades signatus (Distant), a boll-feeding sucking bug, to transmit a cotton seed and boll rot bacterial pathogen, Serratia marcescens (Bizio) (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae). Serratia marcescens was originally isolated from bolls infested with verde plant bug in south Te ...
