A simple empirical model for predicting the development and field generations of some Cotton insect pests in Egypt

Abstract: Field studies conducted during 2000 cotton growing season in three
Governorates, to detect the adult population of the pink bollworm,
Pectinophora gossypiella and cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis using
funnel pheromone traps. Field generation numbers, life table parameters for
field, thermal requirements and heat unit's accumulation was used.
Pectinophora gossypiella showed 3 generations in cotton, Spodoptera
littoralis was found to have 4 generation in cotton. Generations occurred at
an average of 553 and 445 DD's for pink bollworm and cotton leafworm
respectively.
