Abstract
A large-scale field trial was conducted in the rolling plains of west Texas to evaluate the effectiveness and operational feasibility of using 10% aldicarb granules incorporated with trapping, for suppression of overwintered Anthonomus grandis Boheman. It was determined that the treatment of a large area with aldicarb was feasible from an operational standpoint. Cotton fields having traps and receiving an infurrow application of aldicarb (1 lb/acre) had average reductions of 90.6% in percent punctured squares and 77.3% in adult boll weevils. The in-furrow + sidedress treatment of aldicarb gave a higher degree of boll weevil suppression but resulted in a heavier infestation of bollworms, Heliothis spp. Boll weevil wing traps were more effective around cotton fields receiving an in-furrow application of aldicarb then around untreated fields. No increase in trap effectiveness was obtained by addition of a sidedress treatment.
