A primary issue with the production of glandless cotton is itsÂ’ susceptibility to insect pests that are suppressed by the presence of gossypol. Field trials were conducted to evaluate the impact of glandless cotton on insect populations in New Mexico. Field trials in Artesia and Las Cruces were sampled for arthropod pests and beneficials weekly. Field to lab bioassays were used to compare survival and development of cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) and beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) on a glanded and glandless cotton.
