4. Life Cycle<br />
10-20 generations per year;<br />

refuges outdoor.<br />

alternative hosts in spring, e.g. weeds rather<br />
than <strong>crop</strong>s and then move into cotton or corn<br />
fields from end of May to early June. They<br />
cause the most severe damage during mid-Jul.<br />
