Southern California cotton growing regions were included into the pink bollworm Area-wide Eradication Program in 2007.  This area-wide approach may significantly affect the state’s major cotton growing area in the San Joaquin Valley.  California cotton growers have demonstrated strong support for area-wide management programs.  The CDFA has successfully controlled pink bollworm infestations for 40 years in the San Joaquin Valley.  The continued implementation of the area-wide eradication program is of critical importance to the entire California cotton industry.
