 The boll veevil, Anthonoraus g randis Boheman, entered the United States in 1892 

 and reached the Carol inas in 1922. Establishment of the Boll Weevil Research 

 Laboratory in 1962 and strengthening of on-going research at several ARS and 

 State Experiment Stations resulted in; (1) improved techniques for mass rearing 

 the boll veevil; (2) development of the reproduction-diapause boll veevil 

 suppression program; (3) development of ultra-lov-volume sprays of insecticides; 

 (A) development of the systemic insecticide, aldicarb; (5) identification and 

 SNTithesis cf grandlure for use in traps to capture boll veevils; and (6) progress 

 in developing a chemosterilant to produce sterile males for release. The progress 

 made and the importance and urgency cf eliminating the boll veevil problem as 

 soon as it became technically and opera\*lonally feasible resulted in the Pilot 



Weevil Eradication Experiment being conducted in South Mj_ssissippi and 

 adjacent cotton acreages in Alabama and Louisiana in 1971-1973.
