2. Qualities of TYPHON
TYPHON has a dual mode of action.
It controls Aphids, Jassids and Whiteies in cotton crop.
It affects both the nervous systems of the insects simultaneously (Central
Nervous System & the Peripheral Nervous System).

population just after its application.
3. Target Crop
Cotton is the most important bre crop not only of India but of the entire world. It provides
the basic raw material (cotton bre) to cotton textile industry. Its seed (binola) is used in
vanaspati industry and can also be used as part of fodder for milch cattle to get better
milk.India has the largest area under cotton cultivation in the world though she is the

4. Harmful Pests
Aphids ( Aphidoidea )
Aphids are soft-bodied insects that use their piercing sucking mouthparts to feed on plant sap.
They usually occur in colonies on the undersides of tender terminal growth. Heavily-infested
leaves can wilt or turn yellow because of excessive sap removal. While the plant may look bad,

5. Harmful Pests
Jassids ( Amrasca biguttula biguttula Ishida )
Jassid is a sucking pest occurring throughout the crop growing period on cotton in all the zones. The pest
injects toxins into leaves while feeding which results in abnormal changes in leaves - marginal chlorosis
and reddening. Since the pest severity is dependent on the occurrence of congenial weather conditions,

6. Harmful Pests
White Flies ( Aleyrodidae )
Whiteies are tiny, sap-sucking insects that may become abundant in cotton crop, especially
during warm weather. They excrete sticky honeydew and cause yellowing or death of leaves.
Outbreaks often occur when the natural biological control is disrupted. Management is difcult
