U.S. cotton production accounts for nearly 30 percent of global trade in raw cotton and $27 billion in products and services annually. It also provides hundreds of thousands of jobs across many sectors. Pink bollworm is a significant pest of cotton that was not successfully controlled until USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the state departments of agriculture, and the cotton industry mounted a coordinated and integrated pest management program.
