Helicoverpa
''Helicoverpa'' is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae first described by David F. Hardwick in 1965. Some species are among the worst Lepidopteran agricultural pests in the world, and three species (''H. armigera'', ''H. zea'', and ''H. punctigera'') migrate long distances both with and without human transportation, mixing resistance alleles along the way.

Helicoverpa Zea
''Helicoverpa zea, ''commonly known as the corn earworm, is a species (formerly in the genus ''Heliothis'') in the family Noctuidae. The larva of the moth ''Helicoverpa zea'' is a major agricultural pest (organism), pest. Since it is polyphagous (feeds on many different plants) during the larval stage, the species has been given many different common names, including the cotton bollworm and the tomato fruitworm. It also consumes a wide variety of other agriculture, crops. The species is widely distributed across the Americas with the exception of northern Canada and Alaska. It has become resistant to many pesticides, but can be controlled with integrated pest management techniques including deep ploughing, trap crops, chemical control using mineral oil, and Biological pest control, biological controls. The species migrates seasonally, at night, and can be carried downwind up to 400 km. Pupae can make use of diapause to wait out adverse environmental conditions, especially at ...

Helicoverpa Punctigera
''Helicoverpa punctigera'', the native budworm, Australian bollworm or ''Chloridea marmada'', is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. This species is native to Australia. ''H. punctigera'' are capable of long-distance migration from their inland Australian habitat towards coastal regions and are an occasional migrant to New Zealand. This species is a generalist, with larvae observed feeding on at least 100 plant species, and are considered a pest for tobacco, flax, peas, sunflower, cotton, maize, tomatoes and other crops. Outside of agricultural settings, primary host plants include some Australian native daisies, in particular flat billy buttons '' Leiocarpa brevicompta,'' annual yellow tops ''Senecio gregorii'', poached egg daisy ''Polycamma stuartii'', and also the native legume '' Cullen cinereum''.''Helicoverpa punctigera'' is often compared to its cousin species '' H. armigera'' who unlike ''H. punctigera'' has developed resistance to certain insecticides and other ...

Helicoverpa Armigera
''Helicoverpa armigera'' is a species of Lepidoptera in the family Noctuidae. It is known as the cotton bollworm, corn earworm, Old World (African) bollworm, or scarce bordered straw (the lattermost in the UK, where it is a migrant). The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including many important cultivated crops. It is a major pest in cotton and one of the most polyphagous and cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan Pest (organism), pest species. It should not be confused with the similarly named larva of the related species ''Helicoverpa zea''. Distribution This species comprises two sub-species: ''Helicoverpa armigera armigera'' is native and widespread in central and southern Europe, temperate Asia and Africa; ''Helicoverpa armigera conferta'' is native to Australia, and Oceania. The former sub-species has also recently been confirmed to have successfully invaded Brazil and has since spread across much of South America and reached the Caribbean. It is a migrant species, ...

Helicoverpa Assulta
''Helicoverpa assulta'', the oriental tobacco budworm, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. ''H. assulta'' adults are migratory and are found all over the Old World Tropics including Asia, Africa, and Australia. This species has a brown coloured pattern on their forewings while their hindwings are yellowish orange and have a brown margin which has a pale mark. The wingspan is about . H. assulta is closely related to Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa zea. The larvae feed on various ''Solanaceae'' species, including '' Lycopersicon'', ''Nicotiana'' (''Nicotiana tabacum''), ''Physalis'' and ''Solanum''. It also feeds on fruits of ''Physalis peruviana'' and ''Datura'' species. Because of its feeding behavior, ''H. assulta'' is considered a pest of economically viable crops including tomatoes, tobacco, and hot peppers. Due to the pest status, understanding how to control the moth’s behavior is a priority, but the species’ larval eating behavior and growing resistance to insecti ...

Heliothinae
Heliothinae is a small, cosmopolitan subfamily of moths in the family Noctuidae, with about 400 described species worldwide. It includes a number of economically significant agricultural pest species, such as '' Helicoverpa armigera'' and ''Helicoverpa zea''. Taxonomy The subfamily has been studied extensively. Important works include studies by Hardwick (1965 and 1970) and Matthews (1988). Distribution and diversity Heliothinae is a cosmopolitan subfamily of around 400 species. Its species thrive in hot, dry regions of the world, and the subfamily has its highest species diversity in seasonally-arid tropics and subtropics, such as those found Australia, sections of Asia, the southwest region of the United States, and Africa. Larvae The subfamily includes both specialist species, of which the larvae feed on only a limited range of plants, and polyphagous generalist species. The subfamily contains several agricultural pests, including '' Helicoverpa armigera'', '' Helicoverpa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Noctuidae
The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are a family (biology), family of moths. Taxonomically, they are considered the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 List of noctuid genera, genera and 11,772 species. This classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae. Description Adult: Most noctuid adults have wings with a variety of shades of browns, grays, and other varied shades and colourations but some subfamilies, such as Acronictinae and Agaristinae, are very colorful, especially those from tropical regions (e.g. ...
