Boll Weevil Eradication Program Update - Southeast and Midsouth Zones

Jim Brumley


 
ABSTRACT

The Boll Weevil Eradication Program in the Southeast (SEBWEP) started in North Carolina in 1978. This program has moved westward since then. The boll weevil is now eradicated from over 3 million acres. This area includes two-thirds of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Active eradication programs are now in Mississippi and Tennessee. The Mississippi and Tennessee programs cover 600,000 acres.
