TL;DR: A survey for the host plants of Bemisia tabaci from the cotton-growing areas of Punjab, Pakistan, during 1996–1999 revealed 160 plant species belonging to 113 genera of 42 families including crops, ornamentals, fruit and forest trees, and weeds were recorded.

TL;DR: The population level of thrips on seedlings should be determined by visual observations of leaf damage instead of scouting, and the crop should be sprayed before the damage level is such that seedling leaflets have a cup-like appearance.

TL;DR: A season-long infestation of jassids caused significant crop loss so correct timing of an insecticide application to reduce the damage is important.

TL;DR: Moths emergence from the crop residue and gin waste kept as heaps, spread or incorporated into the soil was completed from March to May and remaining larvae died when temperatures were above 40°C and there was no major alternate host and very negligible infestation.

TL;DR: Spodoptera exigua was recorded from 28 plants belonging to 25 genera of 11 families from cotton areas of Multan and Khanewal, it included 21 crops and 7 weeds and played significant role in build up of its population and carry over to cotton.
