D. W. Spurgeon, Thomas W. Sappington, D. R. Rummel

Abstract

New information regarding boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, overwintering is important to efforts to improve efficiency of eradication efforts. The boll weevil diapause remains a contentious issue despite intense study and some evidence suggests the diapause response differs among weevil populations.
