This project has led to a significant advance in our understanding of the feeding behaviour of the adult heliothis moth. It has used detailed studies in ecology and behaviour of H.

At the last ACGRA conference in 1990, it was reported that the Heliothis ID project had been running for approximately six months and species specific antibodies had not yet been obtained.

Cottongrowers in central Queensland (CQ) enjoy no advantage over southern counterparts in the range of insect pests that attack their crop.

Nowadays, most of us are aware that natural enemies (parasites and predators) sometimes play an important role in the control of pests attacking our crops.

Any agent which reduces damage caused by heliothis is a valuable asset.
