Symposium: Use of Pheromones in Tropical Crops: Use of Pheromones in the Boll Weevil Detection and Control Program in Paraguay
Abstract
Although the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boem., arrived in South America before 1949, it was not discovered in Brazil until 1983. Now, however, the boll weevil is expected, momentarily, in neighboring Paraguay. A network of pheromone traps to intercept the boll weevil has been set up both on the Paraguay/Brazil border and in important cotton producing areas of Paraguay.Downloads
