The Identification of Boll Weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis, Genes Involved in Pheromone Production and Pheromone Biosynthesis
PMID 34680662; PMCID PMC8540235; DOI 10.3390/insects12100893
| Latin Name | Anthonomus grandis |
| Common Name | Boll Weevil |
| Biology | Coleoptera (Curculionidae); adults oviposit in cotton bolls; larvae feed inside bolls; lifecycle tied to cotton phenology; multivoltine. |
| Damage | Larval feeding causes boll abscission and rot; severely reduces cotton yield and quality. |
| Distribution Regions | Americas (U.S. South, Mexico, South America); introduced to parts of Africa/Asia. |
| Monitoring | Pheromone trapping (grandlure); field inspections of bolls for eggs/larvae. |
| Recommended Traps | Sticky traps or cylindrical traps baited with grandlure. |
