THE IMPACT OF THE BOLL WEEVIL, 1892-1932. Fabian Lange, Yale University. Alan L. Olmstead, UC Davis. Paul W. Rhode, Univ. of Arizona & NBER. February 2008. Abstract: The boll weevil is Americaâs most celebrated agricultural pest.
The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) is a beetle which feeds on cotton buds and flowers. Thought to be native to Central Mexico, it migrated into the United States from Mexico in the late 19th century and had infested all U.S. cotton-growing areas by the 1920s, devastating the industry and the people working in the American South.
