Control of Insect Pests in Glandless Cotton: The Role of Biological Control

Glandless cotton is more susceptible to insect pests. The research presented will discuss the results of field experiments to evaluate the impact of biological control in glandless cotton.  Sentinel eggs were used to evaluate predation levels.  Predators were also collected whenever a field to lab assay was initiated. HIgh predation levels in glandless cotton suggest that it will be an important source of control of insect pests in glandless cotton.
