How are boll weevils controlled?

In: Beetles, Crickets (Insect) [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Boll weevils are now considered (eradicated) in most of Georgia. Traditional boll weevil controls included diapause control (sprays and stalk destruction immediately after harvest to prevent weevils from entering diapause), insecticide application at pin-head square stage (to reduce populations of overwintered weevils prior to oviposition), and four to five mid and late season insecticide applications at 3 to 5 day intervals, beginning as early as the first bloom.
