Explanation:
The cotton crop is most sensitive to cotton aphid damage at this time because honeydew can contaminate the exposed cotton lint, creating "sticky cotton". Aphid populations as low as 5/leaf can result in honeydew deposition on lint.

Answer:
Aphids cause early to late season damage to terminals, leaves, buds and stems, and are known to transmit Cotton Bunchy Top (CBT) diseases. The honeydew secreted by aphids can contaminate lint once bolls begin to open
