Résumé : The honeydew-producing insects in cotton are whiteflies, aphids and mealybugs. Fiber stickiness is caused by the swarming of these insects at the end of the cotton growing cycle, when bolls are open. They have been increasing in number over the last few years because of changes in climate and cropping practices, pesticide resistance and probably also because of the appearance of new biotypes. Direct chemical control is often ineffective at the end of the cotton cycle. It is preferable to adopt an integrated approach involving cultural practices and an accurate varietal choice, seeking to increase natural control and to eliminate or at least reduce the support provided by the leaves that persist at the end of the cycle.
