Drought brings mixed impact on boll weevil in Terry County
Terr y County irrigation supports peanuts while a drought reduces boll weevil counts. Extension agent Phillip Kidd notes dry weather curbs weevil populations, with early traps showing high counts but mortality rising due to heat and lack of moisture. They warn a possible rebound if conditions improve, and anticipate fewer weevil sprays and lower costs as cotton matures earlier.
