TLDR
The 2-year programme was the largest mobilization of public and private resources for pest management ever undertaken in Nicaragua, and gives practical evidence that suppression of between-season boll weevil populations can form the basis for more profitable control of this key pest in the commercial cotton season.About:

Integrated Pest Management in Latin America
TL;DR: The ability of global agricultural systems to supply sufficient food for our rapidly-growing human population is becoming constrained by physical and economic limits to traditional means of agricultural expansion as mentioned in this paper, which is a concern of the authors of this paper.

Trap Plots for Supression of Low Density Overwintered Populations of Boll Weevils
TL;DR: When 4-, and 16-row trap plots were planted to cotton 2 weeks earlier than normal, both types of plots were equally effective in attracting overwintered Anthonomus grandis Boheman and a large proportion of the boll weevils that emerged before the squaring of the normal crop was attracted and killed.

A Modified Trapping System for Suppressing Low-Density Populations of Overwintered Boll Weevils
TL;DR: Strips along 2 sides of cotton fields were treated with 2 sidedress applications of aldicarb, and sterile male Anthonomus grandis Boheman were released on adjacent untreated cotton plants to provide a natural source of pheromone which would attract the over-wintered native population to the treated strips, where they would be killed.
