d. Farmers used boll weevils to help keep crops from over producing.
Explanation:
- The "boll weevil" is a pest that infests & feeds on cotton flowers & buds. It is considered to be native to "Central Mexico", and it had come into the "US from Mexico" during the late 19th(nineteenth century) &had infected all US "cotton-growing regions" by the 1920s, "damaging" the industry as well as the "people working" in the "South America".
- In the late 20th(twentieth century), it had become a "severe pest in South America". However, the" Boll Weevil Eradication Program" in the US from the year 1978, had permitted "full-scale cultivation" to "resume in several regions".
- About 1915, when the insect stated affecting Texas, Boll weevil significantly affected Texas' long history of cotton production, and it was destroyed as an economic threat. Losses in yield connected to boll weevil significantly reduced cotton acreage
