The purpose of this study was to assess the susceptibility of the bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), to the pyrethroid cypermethrin in the primary crop production areas of Texas. Pyrethroid insecticides are widely used in cotton and in other production systems, such as grain sorghum and corn. The statewide monitoring program that evaluated resistance in male H. zea was conducted from April to September 2005, surveying nine Texas counties with a total of 5,041 moths from all areas used for analysis. Data from all areas were sent to Texas A&M University Toxicology Laboratory for analysis. Considerable variability in response to cypermethrin was detected in H. zea across the state. Based on LC₅₀ data, the most resistant populations were from Nueces, Uvalde, and Williamson counties while the most susceptible populations were from Ellis, Fisher and Mitchell, Hockley, and Swisher counties.
