Laboratory evaluation of toxicity of selected insecticides against egg and larval stages of cotton pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) · 2024

• positive
  Directly exposed larvae had more than 80% mortality and higher susceptibility than larvae burrowed inside bolls.

• positive
  Insecticide treatment before larval release inhibited developmental biology more than treatment after release and boll entry.

  compared with insecticide treatment given post-larval release and entry inside the bolls
