The Boll Weevil Eradication Program is a program sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) which has sought to eradicate the boll weevil in the cotton-growing areas of the United States. It's one of the world's most successful implementations of integrated pest management. The program has enabled cotton farmers to reduce their use of pesticides by between 40-100%, and increase their yields by at least 10%, since its inception in the 1970s. By the autumn of 2009, eradication was finished in all US cotton regions with the exception of less than one million acres still under treatment in Texas.

  • Le programme d'éradication du charançon du cotonnier (Boll Weevil Eradication Program) est un programme parrainé par le département de l'Agriculture des États-Unis (USDA) dont l'objectif est d'éradiquer le charançon du cotonnier dans les régions cotonnières des États-Unis. C'est l'une des opérations de lutte intégrée contre les ravageurs des cultures parmi les plus réussies au monde. Depuis son lancement dans les années 1970, ce programme a permis aux producteurs de coton de réduire leur utilisation d'insecticides de 40 à 100 %, et d'accroître leurs rendements d'au moins 10 %. À l'automne 2009, l'éradication était achevée dans toutes les régions cotonnières américaines, à l'exception de moins de 500 000 hectares encore sous traitement au Texas. (fr)
