Abstract
This study was carried out in 1992 season to study the effect of attracticide (Attract + Kill) against the pink bollworm moths. The effect of attracticide on percentage infestation with P_gossypielia, cotton gross yield, morphological characters of cotton plants, the parasites and predators was determined in comparison with insecticide. The results obtained can be summarized as follows : 1 PBW moth catches : There were highly significant differences in the number of male moths caught between the chemical and attracticide pheromone (PYRAMID and Registration areas) treatments. Whereas there was no significant difference in the number of male moths caught between the Pyramid and Registration treatments. 2.Boll infestation : In PYRAMID and Registration trials, the first three applications provided best protection for bolls during whole July. Then in the 1st week of August the insecticides were used_ There was no correlation (r) between the number of male moths caught and the percentage of boll infestation in the different treatments. 3.Cotton gross yield : Pyramid treatment exhibited the highest yield of seed cotton followed by Registration and chemical check treatments, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the percentage infestation of cotton bolls and yield obtained in the different treatments. Chemical check treatment revealed the highest loss in boils followed by Pyramid and Registration treatments, respectively. The results showed that cotton plants treated with Attract and Kill and consequently less chemical demonstrated better growth, have
