Sampling for boll weevils in cotton fields should start at the field borders and focus on total infested reproductive structures (buds + bolls) and as cotton plants develop, sampling should focus on the field as a whole. Distances among samples will vary from 6 to 470 m. Thus, despite the cotton phenological stage or growing season, monitoring of boll weevil should be done by sampling total infested reproductive structures with a minimum distance of 6 m among samples. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
