Fall cotton stalk destruction cuts weevil numbers, experts say
Weevils will rise whenever there are squares and food in halls, Dwight Isely of the University of Arkansas notes. Early cotton harvest and destruction of stalks before frost starves weevils, reducing winter survival and aiding next year’s control, especially if dusting gear and calcium are scarce in 1942. Early fall destruction has long been a key control method prior to calcium arsenate.
