Researchers studied the effect of xenomes on the wax content of cotton fibers. Researchers applied xenomes (fenvalerate and emthyl alcohol) used to manage insecticide induced upsurgence of plant lice Aphis gossypii to cotton variety LRA 5166 once every ten days, beginning 50 days after germination of the cotton crop. Researchers made five applications of xenomes, then collected lint samples after mixing to estimate wax and other fiber properties. The fibers obtained from the untreated cotton crop and the fibers obtained from the crop treated with fenvalerate contained almost the same level of wax. However, researchers observed a 21-28 percent decrease in wax content in fibers from the cotton crop treated either with methyl alcohol alone or in combination with fenvalerate. The combination of methyl alcohol and fenvalerate reduced the upsurgency of Aphis gossypii by 21 percent and increased the yield of seed cotton by 29-32 percent. 3 refs.
