Boll Weevil Survival Up With North Carolina Feeders
Enterprise reports that Maryland North Carolina entomologist Dr. R W Leiby says boll weevils survived winter at higher rates this year. From March 16 to April 15 about 13.4 percent survived compared with 3 to 4 percent in recent years. If drought and heat follow mid June, millions may be killed but hotter dry weather could boost the crop, leaving a less encouraging outlook for cotton farmers.
