Characteristics Of Cotton Plants Associated With Sucking Insects And Natural Enemies



 

ABSTRACT: The abundance and relationship of the arthropod predators with prevailing sucking insect pests, aphid and jassid, were observed on five cotton varieties namely, CB12, CB13, CB14, CB15, and HC1. The studied cotton varieties showed differences in their superficial characteristics but all the varieties harbored the predators namely lady bird beetle, lace wing, syrphid fly and spider. The prevailed predators showed positive correlation with the sucking insects and abundance was significantly the highest on HC1 variety, where the lowest on CB14.
