Heavy boll weevil and bollworm infestations hit south Georgia
Entomologists C R Jordan and W C Johnson of the University of Georgia report heavy infestations of boll weevils and bollworms across many south Georgia counties. They note 250 weevils per acre in several counties and the earliest, heaviest bollworm activity yet seen in Georgia damaging squares and buds. Farmers are urged to inspect fields and begin regular insecticide treatments when 10 percent or more squares are punctured, with mixtures effective against both pests when both are present. County agents hold current recommendations.
