VOLUME 2 – Program Pink Bollworm Trapping and Boll Sampling Data

DATA OBJECTIVES:

	Data from systematic monitoring (weekly) of pink bollworm population in
eradication zones using pheromone traps and sampling of bolls should be
provided.  Compare wild-type adult pink bollworm capture levels to
sterile adult pink bollworm capture levels.

CONTENTS ADDRESSING OBJECTIVES:

1. TABLE 1	Listing weekly program trapping data for all fields for the
period of June 25 – July 22, 2006.  Data to include total native and
sterile captures per trap per week for each field covering the date
range specified. 

(146 pages; attached & labeled)

2. TABLE 2	Lists average number of natives and steriles per field for
the four week combined date range of June 25 – July 22, 2006.

(100 pages; attached & labeled)

3. TABLE 3	Summarizes weekly pink bollworm trapping averages by cotton
types for both natives and steriles.

4. TABLE 4	Lists preliminary boll sampling data for the week of July 16
– July 22, 2006.  A total of 43 fields were selected at random (23
non-Bt / 20 Bt).  Attempts were made wherever possible to select Bt /
non-Bt pairs that were a mile apart or less.  A total of 100 bolls from
each of four field quadrants comprised the sample.  These were then
examined under magnification for pink bollworm life forms.  Twenty-six
fields were capable of being sampled at this early date.
