The impacts of Helicoverpa armigera on the cotton industry are examined, highlighting the substantial economic losses incurred due to yield reduction and increased pesticide use. The paper further discusses effective management strategies, such as integrated pest management techniques, genetically modified cotton varieties, and targeted pesticide application.
