However, there are other synonyms for bollworms which include sorghum headworm, tomato fruitworm, tobacco budworm, and soybean podworm. Each of these pests is known to cause similar damage to their respective crops and can be equally destructive. Nevertheless, they all share similarities in terms of habits and appearance, making their identification crucial for proper pest management.
