Don't confuse boll worm with boll weevil in cotton belt
Washington October 12 The Agriculture Department campaigns clarify confusion between the cotton boll worm and boll weevil. It notes the boll worm larva is greenish or brownish over an inch long, while the white boll weevil grub stays in the cotton square and never exceeds half an inch. To protect the current crop, harvest promptly then plow and harrow to destroy immature worm stages and prepare for next season. The department directs Farmers Bulletin 290 for control methods across seasons.
