It is sometimes a minor pest of cotton, feeding mostly on young shoots, piercing the stems and sucking the sugar-rich juices intended for shoot growth. It has been known to cause the introduction of a fungus, which rots the cotton boll. Nymphs feed on seeds in very small bolls or in opening bolls.

The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) is a beetle which feeds on cotton buds and flowers. Thought to be native to Central Mexico,[1] it migrated into the United States from Mexico in the late 19th century and had infested all U.S. cotton-growing areas by the 1920s, devastating the industry and the people working in the American South. During the late 20th century, it became a serious pest in South America as well. Since 1978, the Boll Weevil Eradication Program in the U.S. allowed full-scale cultivation to resume in many regions.

Adult weevils overwinter in well-drained areas in or near cotton fields,and farms after diapause. They emerge and enter cotton fields from early spring through midsummer, with peak emergence in late spring, and feed on immature cotton bolls.


The boll weevil lays its eggs inside buds and ripening bolls (fruits) of the cotton plants. The female can lay up to 200 eggs over a 10- to 12-day period. The oviposition leaves wounds on the exterior of the flower bud. The eggs hatch in 3 to 5 days within the cotton squares (larger buds before flowering), feed for 8 to 10 days, and finally pupate. The pupal stage lasts another 5 to 7 days. The lifecycle from egg to adult spans about three weeks during the summer. Under optimal conditions, 8 to 10 generations per season may occur.

Which if the following notions was part of the central powers
Doss [256]

The correct answer is Austria-Hungary

The borders of Austria and most European countries have been formed over hundreds of years. Whenever they could, rulers and dynasties sought to expand their domains. The Habsburg family, one of the most powerful in Europe, governed a large area that was named Austria. Over time, the region of Hungary, which was in the territory of the Habsburgs, began to demand more autonomy. In 1867, the Habsburgs were forced to divide their empire into two parts. Thus a new empire emerged, the Austro-Hungarian. The two nations formed a dual monarchy (one king for two countries), which remained until 1918.

What obligations did a peasant have to the lord of the manor
aniked [119]
A peasant is considered to be a farmer and would give free service to the lord and his land. This is in exchange for their rent on the land owned by the lord and for the food provided by the crops grown in the lord's land. They would work for three times in a week or longer, if it is harvest time. A peasant was not permitted to change their abode or move to another place. They needed to become a freeman first. In order to become a freeman, he needed to pay his debt to the lord or buy a piece of his land. The status of being a peasant or serf will be passed onto the descendants.
