 Temil^, [a 10% granular formulation of Union Carbide 21149, 2-methyl-2- 

 (methylthio)propionaldehyde 0-(methyl=carbamoyl)oxime] applied as a side- 

 dressing to 4 to 5-acre plots of cotton just as squaring started was effective 

 in controlling boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, for a period of 2 

 to 5 weeks. A single treatment of 2 lb. of toxicant per acre applied once 

 was effective for 2 to 4 weeks, two treatments of 2 lb. of toxicant each 

 applied 10 days apart were effective for 4 to 5 weeks. More bollworm ( Hclio- 

 this spp.) larvae were found in treated than in untreated plots.

 boll weevils. J. Econ. Entomol. 60: 368-473. 



Wlien female boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, were mated alternatedly 

 with normal and apholate-treated males considerable mixing of sperm occurred. 

 Also, the second mating was more effective than the first, and sperm from the 

 last mating prior to egg deposition to fertilize most of the eggs laid sub- 

 sequently. • ""

The Pilot Boll Weevil Eradication Experiment was conducted in 1971-1973 in 

 South Mississippi and adjacent areas of Louisiana and Alabama. In 1973, only 

 33 of the 236 fields were infested in the eradication area and they were in 

 the northern zones nearest the first buffer. Indications were that the pro- 

 blem was caused by migration from the second buffer where overwintering popula- 

 tions were considerably higher. Infested fields were treated at 3-day intervals
