Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pink Bollworm Management in Cotton in the Southwestern United States The first pink bollworm infestations in eastern Arizona were reported in 1926. At intervals thereafter, they occurred in other parts of the State and were suppressed through cooperative Federal, State, and industry programs, but infestations spread rapidly after termination of the cooperative efforts in 1963 and were found in the Imperial Valley of California in 1965. Spread was rapid throughout southern California and severe losses occurred by 1967. Infestations were detected in the high desert areas of Los Angeles and San Bernadino Counties in that year, and four moths and six larvae were found in the San Joaquin Valley near Bakersfield. Varying numbers of native moths have been trapped each year except for 1968, and a few larvae were found in the San Joaquin Valley in 1970, 1977, 1980, and 1983. However, by 1985, the San Joaquin Valley remains the only cotton growing area in the Western United States without a firmly established pink bollworm population.
