This rule is designed to help prevent the reintroduction into Georgia of the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman). The boll weevil is a destructive pest that nearly destroyed Georgia's cotton industry and cost in excess of $100 million to eradicate from the state. The Commissioner of Agriculture has determined that the boll weevil is not established in the State of Georgia, is a serious plant pest, and is injurious to the agricultural interests of the state.
