Boll Weevil

Under provisions of the Mississippi Boll Weevil Management Act, the Bureau assists with the maintenance/containment of the eradication of the boll weevil from Mississippi.

Online Reporting

The Boll Weevil Reporting System is designed to serve as a convenience for users and to make the boll weevil reporting and payment process more efficient and accessible. Entities can update their profiles and make payment anytime.

Current Status

The current assessment fee for the Mississippi Boll Weevil Eradication Program is $1.00 per acre. This assessment is due on or before September 15th each year.

Background

In 1997, two regions of Mississippi’s cotton growers began participating in the boll weevil eradication program. By 1999, all five regions had joined together to eliminate the boll weevil from Mississippi’s cotton fields. In 2009, the success of the program was evident when the boll weevil was declared eradicated from Mississippi. The boll weevil program removed region boundaries and became a statewide program in 2010 to continue ensuring Mississippi remains boll weevil free.
