Bibliography of the Pink Bollworm, 'Pectinophora gossypiella' (Saunders)

摘要

The pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella(Saunders), was described by W.W. Saunders in 1843as Depressaria gossypiella from specimens found to be damaging cotton in India. Infestations in the United States first occurred in Texas cotton in 1917. At present, the pink bollworm has been recorded in early all cotton-growing countries of the world and is a key pest in many of these areas. Existing tactics for achieving a high degree of suppression of established pink bollworm populations are well advanced and feasible on a field-by-field basis. A combination of tactics may achieve even higher levels of pest suppression if implemented on an area wide basis. The longstanding nature of the pink bollworm problem in many areas of the world and the likely development of area wide management programs in the future prompted us to develop this bibliography as an information base to assist those in program planning, implementation, and evaluation. The bibliography should also be a useful aid to researchers, educators, extension personnel, agricultural producers, industry, and government administrators involved in managing this serious pest.
