- Intervention effect Combined pheromones did not affect red bollworm male trap catches.
- Method / resource A flat disc trap was as efficient as more complex designs for pink bollworm males.
- Method / resource A sealed polyethylene vial released gossyplure more efficiently than a narrow-bore teflon capillary.
- Method / resource A Zoecon beem-polyethylene vial released gossyplure more efficiently than a narrow-bore teflon capillary.
