BAW lacks a diapause mechanism so it can only successfully overwinter in warmer climates, therefore it will need to migrate into most cotton growing areas during the growing season. Treatment thresholds vary greatly and depend on time of year, crop stage at outbreak, the plant parts being attacked, and the abundance of predatory and parasitic insects. 1 Cotton can be damaged by BAW at a very high rate. However, the BAW that fed on pigweed grew faster and matured quicker than other host species tested. A study in 2001 indicated that BAW consume cabbage, pepper, sunflower, cotton, and pigweed in preferential order. This wide range of hosts presents additional challenges for cotton producers when developing a BAW management plan. BAW has a wide range of hosts that include field, vegetable and flower crops as well as many weed species. Beet armyworm (BAW), Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) can be a cotton pest throughout the growing season but can be more prevalent under droughty conditions and in fields with pigweed pressure.
