Kill Of Pink Bollworms In The Cotton Gin And The Oil Mill Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Kill of Pink Bollworms in the Cotton Gin and the Oil Mill Most of the larvae of late-season generations of the pink bollworm remain in bolls and there enter the diapause, or resting stage, in which, under natural conditions, they live through the winter. Lar vae that survive the winter in the field do so mostly in waste cotton remaining after harvest. It has long been recognized that cotton infested with the pink bollworm should be harvested thoroughly and transported in a way that avoids deposition of waste along road sides, in order that as many as possible of the worms may be carried to the gin rather than left to infest the next year's crop.
