Urgent pest control: destroy cotton stalks to beat pink bollworm
Cotton farmers are urged by H C Massey of the ARS to shred and plow under all cotton stalks by mid September to prevent pink bollworm survival. USDA and state studies show winter survival drops from 2 of 5,000 on Sept 1 to about 6 percent by Sept 15, with overwintering rates matching bollworms. Massey notes rising pink bollworm numbers since spring planting and urges complete harvest and destruction of stalks.
