Pink Bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella is a key pest of cotton in Northeastern Mexico, Arizona & California. Pink Bollworm feeds on cotton bolls reducing both yield and quality of the lint. The introduction of transgenic Bt cotton varieties has resulted in more effective control of pink bollworm, while simultaneously reducing broadspectrum insecticide use. 2, record 1, English, - pink%20bollworm
