W, OVERMAN, Chowan County Agent j Cotton Insect Situation: Harry j tells me that his cotton insect survey last week showed a drop in punctured square count. This was true in both dusted and un dusted fields. This indicates a between cycle situation rather] than dying out ot weevils, Harry informs me that week before last, several counts ran up to punctured squares. Eggs in those squares had been laid within about seven days, most likely. In about 25 to 28 days after an egg is laid the fe- 1 male weevil produced begins laying eggs. This means that weevils from squares punctured the first week in July may be out laying eggs next week. Some of those punctures were made the last week of June, and those are beginning to fly now. Much of our cotton is two weeks later than normal. A large part of the crop will be made from squares forming now and in the next three weeks. I think it is most important that growers dust every five to seven days through August 15. Vary the insecticides used, not the -ame one each time, so you will get weevils which have develop ed a resistance. Use insecticides that will get both the boll worm and the weevil.
