#cottonstainer

Four species of "cotton stainers," also known as "red bugs," are known from India. However, the most important of these is the cotton stainer, Red bug appearance on cotton is after the commencement of the first open boll in the cotton fields. Dusky cotton bugs appear on cotton is when majority of bolls on the crop are open. As they occur at the end of crop season and the loss caused have been minimal, not much attention has been given to the counting their numbers than describing their status as low, medium and high. Usually the insecticides that were applied during the mid to late seasons against bollworms suppressed their population effectively. However, with the reduced insecticide use against bollworms in the 21 century and the large-scale commercial cultivation of transgenic cotton hybrids has led to the increase in population of these red cotton bugs. #bugsofinstagram #redbug #cottonstainer #rawindia #rawindiaofficial #insectsofinstagram #nature #insect #insectphotography #insectlovers #insect_addict #insectgram #bug #bugg #buggsoftheworld #insectoftheday #insectofinstagram #worldofinsects #insectart #red #black #redandblack https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHla55gQhD/?igshid=nie9u9k7f4c4
