Cotton Cotton is a soft, uffy staple ber that grows in a boll, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family is the most important bre crop not only of India but of the entire world. It provides the basic raw material to cotton textile industry. The word ‘cotton’ is derived from ‘qutun’ or ‘kutun’, an Arabic word used to describe any ne textile In an average year, Australia’s cotton growers produce enough cotton to clothe 500 million people.
Bollworm The cotton bollworm, corn earworm, or Old World bollworm is a moth, the larvae of which feed on a wide range of plants, including many important cultivated crops. It is a major pest in cotton and one of the most polyphagous and cosmopolitan pest species. The adult is a medium-sized, cream-colored moth and is seen frequently throughout the day during periods of heavy infestations. Moths lay eggs singly, mostly on the young terminal leaves and sometimes on leaves and squares within the canopy. Eggs are the size of a pinhead, white to cream colored and hatch in two or three days during warm weather. Young larvae are difcult to nd until they are about three to four days old. At this stage, they are about ¼ inch long and brownish colored with some scattered hairs. The full-grown larva is about 1½ inches long with a light-colored head capsule.

Cotton white fly Whiteies are sucking insects and their feeding removes nutrients from the plant. Whiteies cause damage to cotton plants in two ways rstly by sucking the sap and secondly by excreting honey dew on which sooty mould grows. Feeding by high populations may result in stunting, poor growth, defoliation, boll shed and reduced yields. As they feed, whiteies produce large quantities of honeydew which, if deposited on bers, will reduce cotton quality and may interfere with picking, ginning, and spinning. Honeydew also supports the growth of black sooty molds that stain lint, lowering its quality. Both B. tabaci biotypes are efcient vectors of the cotton leaf crumple virus, a Geminivirus.

Aphid Aphid gossypii is a tiny insect or greeny in the superfamily Aphidoidea in the order Hemiptera. It is a true bug and sucks sap from plants. It is a widely distributed pest of a variety of agricultural crops in the families Cucurbitaceae, Rutaceae and Malvaceae. The cotton aphid may be troublesome during the seedling stage when its feeding may result in plants being stunted. At the boll-opening stage, the honeydew produced by the insect and the associated fungal moulds can foul the cotton lint. This lowers the quality of the crop and can cause harvesting difculties. Adults and nymphs suck sap from growing points. Large numbers can cause leaf distortion and stunting. More signicant is the production of honeydew that interferes with photosynthesis and late in the season causes stickiness and discolouration of the cotton.

Jassids Jassid is a sucking pest occurring throughout the crop growing period on chilli in all the zones. The pest injects toxins into leaves while feeding which results in abnormal changes in leaves marginal chlorosis and reddening.Jassids are small, leaffeeding insects ranging from green, through to yellow-green to brown. Conditions that favour leafhoppers, long intervals between harvests (lucerne) and spells of hot, dry weather, are poor growing conditions for the crop.

Thrips Thrips are tiny insects about as fat as a sewing needle that dine on many plants worldwide. Also known as thysanoptera or thunderies, thrips are sucking insects that can cause some damage to plants. Thrips damage includes streaks, silvery speckling, and small white patches. This happens because the thrips suck plant cells from many garden plants, owers, fruits, and shade trees. If you have a major infestation of thrips, your plants might be stunted with damaged owers and fruit. The damage that you notice might instead come from the virus that the thrips spread

Soybean The soybean is economically the most important bean in the world, providing vegetable protein for millions of people and ingredients for hundreds of chemical products. The origins of the soybean plant are obscure, but many botanists believe it was ď€ rst domesticated in central China as early as 7000 BCE. An ancient crop, the soybean has been used in China, Japan, and Korea for thousands of years as a food and a component of medicines. The soybean is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein and is a staple in the diets of people and animals in numerous parts of the world. The seed contains 17 percent oil and 63 percent meal, 50 percent of which is protein. Because soybeans contain no starch, they are a good source of protein for diabetics.
Semilooper Soybean can be attacked at any stage but are at greatest risk during owering and podding. Soybean looper is a more serious pest in mungbeans and navy beans than soybeans. Small larvae feed on only one side of the leaf, leaving translucent ´feeding windows´. As larvae develop, they chew holes in the leaf, and then feed from the leaf margin. Larvae are primarily foliage feeders in soybeans but will attack the owers and developing pods in azuki beans, mungbeans and navy beans. Looper damage is different to helicoverpa damage, with the feeding holes being angular rather than rounded.

Girdle Beetle The incidence of girdle beetles is observed at the seedling stage. The presence of 2 circular cuts on the branch or stem is a characteristic symptom. Larvae bore into the stem of soybean. The inside of the stem is eaten by the larvae, forming tunnels within the stem. The infected portion above the circular cut is unable to get any nutrition so it dries up. In the later stages of infestation, the plant is severed at about 15 to 25 cm above the ground. he main damage is caused by the larvae of the insect. The attack of the insect initially begins in the last week of July to the ď€ rst fortnight of August. The insect remains active from July to October, damaging the crop most severely during August and September. Heavy incidence may reduce the yield by up to 40%
