Abstract
Research Article Monitoring cotton bollworms through synthetic sex pheromone traps
Highlights
This below expectation performance of the Cotton Gossypium hirsutum L. is one of the cotton crop was largely due to reduction in important cash crops grown in Pakistan
The use of sex pheromone lures for insect monitoring and reducing their population by adult moth trapping nowadays is the common practice by various cotton research institutes of Pakistan
It has been well documented that synthetic pheromones are better to monitor and control the cotton bollworms population as compared to other control measures [8]
Summary
This below expectation performance of the Cotton Gossypium hirsutum L. is one of the cotton crop was largely due to reduction in important cash crops grown in Pakistan. The maximum population of H. armigera was 0.91±0.09 at Tando Adam followed by 0.82±0.05 at Sinjhoro, 0.72±0.03 at Shahdadpur and minimum 0.68±0.11 at Jam Nawaz Ali. The collective weekly population of H. armigera at all localities was highest (6.42±0.23) in the last week of August (Table 2). The results of sex pheromone traps in (Fig. 2 & Table 5), showed that the adult population of bollworms was varied at the different localities. The results showed that the maximum number of adults were collected from Tando Adam, followed by Shahdadpur, Jam Nawaz Ali, and Sinjhoro. Some other researchers observed with little difference and reported; [21] used sex pheromones for control of bollworm in Multan (Pakistan), according to him maximum population of adult moths were recorded in the month of September and October and minimum in the month of June, [22, 23] have presented similar results.

[24] had same observation for bollworm species in Sindh
