Basic Information

Helicoverpa armigera
Accession: ICG00151
Latin Name: Helicoverpa armigera
Common Name: Cotton bollworm
Taxonomy ID: 29058
Description: Helicoverpa armigera, the cotton bollworm or corn ear worm, is one of the most serious agricultural pests in Asia, Africa, southern Europe and Australia. Due to heavy selection pressure over the past 40 years, it has developed resistance to organochlorine, carbamate, organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides in many countries and has begun to show some tolerance to newer chemistries such as fipronil, chlorfenapyr, spinosad and indoxacarb. The failure of insecticides to control resistant H. armigera has been a strong incentive for the development and adoption of Bt cotton genetically engineered to withstand bollworm attack.
