Bell-Weevil rise prompts Terry County warnings by Siders
Terry County Extension Agent Kerry Siders warns boll weevils are increasing across Terry County and will likely reach dangerous levels within weeks. He cites field counts rising from four per week to over 200 in a week, with potential totals approaching 1000 as fall migration continues. He urges growers to inspect cotton every three days and spray once 15 percent damage appears, noting soft bolls are most vulnerable to puncture and egg-laying. He stresses that damage is present in many fields and cannot be ignored.
