The Boll Weevil
The main insect that destroys cotton crops is the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa zea). This pest feeds on the cotton bolls, buds, and leaves, causing significant damage to the plants and reducing yield. Other pests, such as the cotton aphid and the pink bollworm, can also affect cotton crops, but the bollworm is particularly notorious for its destructive impact. Effective pest management strategies are essential to mitigate their effects on cotton production.
