Abstract :In this study, to determine of the development of moth population of Pink Bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella Saund.) and Spiny Bollworm (Earias insulana Boisd.) were conducted in 2002-2003. Light traps and pheromone traps were used SBW and PBW, respectively. In the population development of SBW; two peaks, one of them occurs in September, the other occurs in October, were established through light traps in both years. The development of population of PBW in phero-mone traps had resulted in two peaks in the months of August and September in 2002, however the number of peaks in August and September in 2003 was three. As a result, both pests continued to cause infestation on cotton which grown in Harran Plain. SBW has less population than the preceding years as in a local area and PBW is a continuous threat in cotton grown area.Keywords : Pembekurt, Dikenlikurt, Populasyon gelişimi, Harran Ovası
