“Helicoverpa spp. resurgence on cotton following broad-spectrum insecticide use is well-documented; ovipositional preference for treated plants is a known pesticidal resurgence mechanism consistent with IPM literature.”
- agroecologist · plausible
“Helicoverpa spp. are well-documented major pests of Gossypium hirsutum bolls/foliage; pesticide-induced resurgence via disrupted natural enemies or altered host-plant chemistry is a recognized IPM phenomenon consistent with the source quote.”
