Biological control of cotton pests in China.

Highlights: [•] Biological control plays an important role for control of cotton pests in China. [•] More than a hundred species of major arthropod predators and parasitoids of cotton insect pests have been described. [•] Trichogramma spp., Bacillus thuringiensis and HaNPV etc. have been mass reared or commercially produced and used.
