âThe paucity of humility shown by the Government in the face of such antipathy is stomach-churning.â âLet me start with an apology for the paucity of blogging lately.â âThere's still a paucity of fresh produce in the shops, very little more than a few tired cabbages and exhausted apples to be found.â
A common name for an insect that infests cotton plants is the boll weevil. The adult boll weevils are reddish-brown, gray, or almost black in color and are normally less than 0.24 inches long.
DDT was the first insecticide that proved effective in controlling  the boll weevil. However it was banned and other insecticide were  used, but they too caused problems andâ¦ were expensive. Nowadays,  parasitic wasps and specialized bacteria and viruses are used for  control with considerable success.
