Abstract

The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, was recorded for the first time on the oil-bearing rose, Rosa damascena, at Isparta and Burdur, Turkey in May 2010. Cotton bollworm was found to cause damages not only on oil-rose plants in the field but also on dried rose petals in rose oil factories. As H. armigera is a cosmopolitan pest, the potential risk posed to the oil-bearing rose crop should be considered. © Benaki Phytopathological Institute.
