The cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera Hübner) belongs to the order Lepidoptera, family Noctuidae. This pest develops in large numbers in cotton fields during the growing season, causing significant crop damage, reducing the technological properties of cotton fiber, and degrading the quality of seed.H. armigera is considered one of the most dangerous cotton pests.
Furthermore, Helicoverpa armigera is one of the most destructive insect pests in the world, causing estimated global economic losses exceeding $3 billion annually. The most susceptible crops are cotton, tomato, soybeans, grains (corn, sorghum), chickpeas, and other legumes.
This article presents the results of a field experiment evaluating the biological efficacy of the insecticide "Benzalife Bereke vrg" (emamectin benzoate + lufenuron) against cotton bollworm on medium-fiber cotton.
