PINK BOLLWORM REGULATED AREAS MARCH I, 1961. U- S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE CABBAGE LOOPER (Trichoplusia ni) infestations were light to heavy on late cotton in GEORGIA and light and scattered in the northern area of LOUISIANA. They were more numerous than in any past year in ARKANSAS, although few, if any, infesta- tions were economic; however, the increase in numbers on cotton and other crops is of concern in that State.
