Methods of Killing Roll Weevil for Georgia Farmers
Atlanta July 10 The fight on boll weevil in Georgia continues as methods for elimination appear in the Market Bulletin. Farmers are urged to destroy as many weevils as possible with calcium tulsenate or calcium arsenate dust. State Entomologist M S Yeomans advises applying four to six pounds per acre just after squaring begins and repeating after heavy rain within 24 to 48 hours. Three applications a week to ten days apart are recommended for good control.
