Ali, M.A.
Seasonal flight activities of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) were monitored by trapping males in pheromone sticky traps during two seasons; 1985/86-1986/87 in unsprayed cabbage and cauliflower fields located at Madain region in Iraq. Data of moth catches indicated that this pest seems to have two peak periods of adult moth activity, first period during November to December and second during February to March. Furthermore, these results revealed that the cotton leafworm moths have the ability to subsist in the coldest temperatures during winter season. These results provide information necessary to assist in establishing an integrated pest management program for this pest
