This project derived from a previous Australian Cotton CRC project, &quote;Plant-based attractants for Helicoverpa moths and sucking pests of cotton&quote; (Project 2.2.9).

Attract-and-kill for Helicoverpa moths - a new tool for area wide pest management

Gregg, Peter, Del Socorro, Alice (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2004-08-12)

Airborne volatiles emitted by flowers and other vegetative plant parts that attract insects for feeding and egg-laying could be useful in pest management.

Abstract and kill formulations for Helicoverpa armigera males (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Del Socorro, Alice, Gregg, Peter, Britton, David (Australian Cotton Growers Research Association, 2002-08-13)

Attract and kill formulations are ideal tools for inclusion in IPM strategies to control insect pests, as they can be targeted at a single pest species without affecting beneficial insects, or creating secondary pest
