Reproductive Status of Boll Weevils During Season and Off‐Season of Cotton in the Cerrado of Brazil
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 113-122, February 2026.Cotton boll weevils were monitored continuously and counted weekly over two agricultural years in the Brazilian Cerrado. The survey resulted in a total of 94 519 adults captured in approximately similar percentages of females and males during both the growing and off‐seasons.

The cotton historical lines project—Part I: History and field evaluation
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Common garden experiments have provided great insights into crop adaptation across many systems. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) cultivars have changed in the 20th and 21st centuries, but breeders have not quantified the degree of these changes. We synthesized a panel of 164 non‐genetically modified genotypes, from the private and public sectors ...

Row Crops and the U.S. Agricultural Trade Deficit: Recent Trends and Policy Issues
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 1759-1773, December 2025.ABSTRACT Row crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, and cotton are the backbone of the U.S. farm sector, accounting for around $60 billion of exports in 2023. While U.S. row crop exports remain robust, growing concerns over the rising U.S. agricultural trade deficit underscore the need to appraise the ongoing market and policy dynamics affecting the ...

Subtropical boll weevil ecology [PDF]
American Entomologist, 2007 Although a great deal of research has been conducted on the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, originally a Mesoamerican insect, in temperate cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., growing regions of the United States, relatively little is known about boll weevil ecology in the subtropics and tropics, which extend from South Texas to Argentina ...

Factors affecting U.S. sorghum and cotton exports: A dynamic ARDL simulation approach
Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 285-303, September 2025.Abstract The U.S. faces increasing competition from Argentina and Brazil for sorghum and cotton exports. Using a dynamic Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model, this study shows that U.S. sorghum and cotton exports are positively affected by area harvested, yield, and export price.
