Mechanisms of Cotton Resistance to Arthropod Herbivory

  • Chapter

Abstract

The cotton crop is host to a wide range of arthropod pests (Hargreaves, 1948; Room, 1979a). Key pests, i.e. those that are persistent, occur perennially, and usually reach economically damaging levels (Hearn and Fitt, 1992) have been characterized for most cotton-cropping systems worldwide. The identification and biology of key cotton pests, their economic importance, and methods for their control have been the focus of recent reviews by Frisbie et al. (1989), Hearn and Fitt (1992), Fitt (1994), Luttrel (1994), Luttrel et al. (1994), Ramalho (1994), Sugonyaev (1994), Vaissayre (1994), Matthews and Tunstall (1994), Hillocks (1995), and Pyke and Brown (1996).
