Several species of lepidopterous larvae cause bollworm-type injury to bolls and squares throughout the tropics. They include the bollworm [Heliothis armigera (Hbn.)], the tobacco budworm [Heliothis virescens (F.)], the black bollworm (Pro-denia latisfascia Wlk.), and in Peru Mescinia peruella Schaus.

For species whose larvae are specialist feeders, finding suitable plants for oviposition is of great importance. Com earworm moths, Heliothis armigera, will oviposit on twine impregnated with an extract of com silk (15.). The rice stemborer, Chilo oleiadellus. female will be attracted to and oviposit near a component of rice plants identified as p-methylacetophenone (16). Some of these oviposition attractants are contact materials and, thus, are probably of no use in practical applications. This is the case for many of the butterflies of the Nymphalid family. The Indian butterfly, Papilio demoleus. seems to require some non-volatile component in citrus leaves to induce oviposition, although it seems to be attracted, at least partially, to the odor of the leaves (17.). 

Australia. Pyrethroid resistance in Heliothis spp. was first documented in Australia during the 1982-1983 production season, when field control failures occurred against Heliothis armigera (2). Daly and Murray (341, in a thorough evaluation of hypotheses proposed on the evolution of resistance in Australia, concluded that an increase in the frequency of resistance genes in the Emerald area was a result of interactions between high selection pressure, population density, crop phenology and weather, but the evolution of resistance elsewhere was independent of the situation in Emerald.

Z)-ll-Hexadecenal has been isolated from the female moth, Heliothis armigera, and is a potent olfactory stimulant for males in laboratory and field tests (657). The olfactometer response of laboratory-reared males of H. virescens to its pheromones, (Z)-ll-hexadecenal and (Z)-9-tetra-decenal and the inhibitor (Z)-9-tetradecen-l-ol formate has been studied 658).
