ARKANSAS BOLL WEEVIL ERADICATION FOUNDATION - 2012
Arkansas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation has had an eventful year in 2012 beginning with a change in leadership in February. Trap protocol underwent radical changes from previous years with recommendations from the Technical Advisory Committee proposing half mile spacing. Technology changes and new software programs improved the day-to-day operations to create more efficient and reliable collection of trapping data. The changes and improvements led to a successful year for the Arkansas program with no weevils caught in the state.
