Pink bollworm is a major pest of cotton. Adults are small, grayish brown, inconspicuous moths. When their wings are folded, they have an elongated slender appearance. Thewing tips are conspicuously fringed. Young larvae are tiny, white caterpillars with darkbrown heads. When mature, they are about 0.5 inch 12 mm long and have widetransverse pink bands on the back. Eggs are very small, slightly elongated, and laid underthe calyx of green bolls Pink bollworms damage squares and bolls, the damage to bolls being the most serious.Larvae burrow into bolls, through the lint, to feed on seeds. As the larva burrows within aboll, lint is cut and stained, resulting in severe quality loss. Under dry conditions, yieldand quality losses are directly related to the percentage of bolls infested and the numbersof larvae/boll. With high humidity, it only takes one or two larvae to destroy an entireboll because damaged bolls are vulnerable to infection by boll rot fungi.Use Pheromone Traps from 1 month.
