ABSTRACT
The Boll Weevil Attract and Control Tube (BWACT, TMP or TMB) was evaluated by various research and extension workers in Colombia, Brazil and Paraguay during 1994-1996. Results from using BWACTs in IPM programs have shown high levels of boll weevil attraction and control, delayed initiation of weevil sprays, reduced number of weevil control sprays required to produce a crop, reduced crop damage, increased square retention in the #1 and #2 positions, increased cotton fiber production and greater operating profits from insecticide savings and fiber production.
