Cultural and management practices

  1. Remove cotton plants and all its debris as soon as the cotton has been picked and once harvesting is over. Proper crop destruction of host plants is necessary because the cotton stainers' population depends only on few host plants.
  2. Clean storage area free of cotton seeds, where cotton stainers can live upon.
