Pheromone trap captures of Heliothis virescens (F.), tobacco budworm, and Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), bollworm, have been used to monitor populations of these insects for more than two decades. Increases in captures may be used to alert farmers or consultants of possible increased oviposition on cotton and also provide a rough idea of the species composition of immature stages in a particular field. During the last three years, 24-27 trap locations with at least one trap of each species were established in Drew and Desha Counties in Southeast Arkansas. The relationship among trap locations, the surrounding land structure, and available weather data was examined. The relationship among trap captures, cotton yields, and insecticide applications was examined for locations with available data. Moth captures from Southeast Arkansas were compared to three other locations in the state.
