Insect Pests of Cotton and Their Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cotton Production and Uses

Abstract

Cotton is a cash and industrial crop in many parts of the world. Nowadays, production of cotton is very low, and issues of yield stagnation exist in many developing countries. Major causes of lower yields are climate change soil salinity, lack of adaptation of agronomic practices, pathological, and entomological problems in nature. Insect pests of cotton crop, are categorized in sucking and chewing in nature. In order to harvest high yield, it is recommended to control all types of insect pests of cotton through integrated pest management techniques.
