 Bend area of Texas. Southwest. Entomol. 2: 4-7. 



Leggett traps baited with Grandlure® were placed on the mainland, Padre Island 

 and on unmanned oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous boll weevils were 

 captured in the mainland traps, relatively few boll weevils were captured in the 

 traps located on Padre Island and no boll weevils were captured in traps located 

 in the Gulf of Mexico.

 of a long-term suppression program on boll weevil susceptibility to 

 malathion. Southwest. Entomol. 3: 215-218. 



Laboratory studies of boll weevils, Anthonomus grand is Boheman, from the 

 Texas High Plains suppression area were made to determine if any changes in 

 susceptibility to malathion occurred during a 5-year period. LD^f^ and LDqq 

 values for malathion treatments of these weevils were compared with those of 

 a strain from an adjacent untreated area. No obvious changes in susceptibility 

 were noted among any of the strains.

J. Wash. Acad. Sci. 60: 48-53. 

 A large-scale pilot experiment to provide technology for eradication of the 

 boll weevil is described. A 10,000 acre cotton-growing area in southern 

 Mississippi will be Isolated and used for the integrated application of four 

 previously tested control methods.
