"Crop rotation is another cultural control measure widely adopted by most cotton farmers in Zimbabwe. Cotton is rotated with other crops in order to break the life cycle of pests and diseases. Crop rotation is effective on red and pink bollworms which have narrow host ranges. African and spiny bollworms are polyphagous, so will not be affected by rotations. Pink bollworm: While some insect pests are aggravated others are suppressed with rotations. The pink bollworm can only survive on cotton squares and bolls, thus large-scale rotation of cotton has a dramatic impact on this pest (Blasingane et al., 1991). Rotations crops used include maize, wheat and soyabeans." [Mapuranga, Rangarirai&Chapepa, B. &Mudada, Nhamo. (2015). Strategies for integrated management of cotton bollworm complex in Zimbabwe: A review International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR).

"Results of this study have shown that occurrence and abundance of cotton and cowpea pests is not affected by cotton and cowpea intercropping systems. Pesticides applied on cotton to control cotton pests in different intercropping arrangements significantly reduced populations of cowpea pests. This would therefore help famers reduce costs associated with pest’s management if cotton and cowpea were grown as intercrops as opposed to when each crop was grown as sole crop." [Kabambe, V.. (2016). Effects of intercropping systems and foliar pesticides applied to control cotton (Gossypiumhirsutum L) pests on incidences of cowpea (Vignaunguiculata L. Walp) pests. 6. 313-321.] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318595362_Effects_of_intercropping_systems_and_foliar_pesticides_applied_to_control_cotton_Gossypium_hirsutum_L_pests_on_incidences_of_cowpea_Vigna_unguiculata_L_Walp_pests |
