Abstract

Two boll weevil/cotton insect management trials, conducted during 1978-80, demonstrated the technical and operational feasibility of eradicating a boll weevil population from a geographic area or eliminating the need for boll weevil treatments during the cotton-growing season. Six cotton insect management programs were specified and evaluated for application in the boll weevil infested areas of the Cotton Belt. The Optimum Pest Management with No Incentive and Boll Weevil Eradication (OPM-NI-BWE) Program would yield substantially higher total economic and environmental benefits than the other programs. The OPM with No Incentive Program was estimated to yield the highest benefit/cost ratio in terms of public expenditures.
