The pecan is an important horticultural crop in Texas. In 2007, the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service

reported that 83,030 acres of improved varieties and 91,900 acres of native pecans were managed in Texas

Many insects feed on the leaves, nuts, branches and buds of the pecan tree, reducing the tree’s production potential. Some insects lower production directly by feeding on the nuts. Other pests cause indirect damage, as their feeding depletes the tree’s reserves so that nut production is reduced the following year.

This guide discusses the management of insect and mite pests of commercial pecans. Extension publication E-145, Homeowner’s Guide to Pests of Peaches, Plums and Pecans (available from your local Texas Agrilife Extension office and online at http://agrilifebookstore.org) describes how to control pests attacking pecans in home landscapes and in other noncommercial orchards. Information on identifying pest and beneficial insects of pecans is avail-able in publication B-6055, Field Guide to the Insects and Mites Associated with Pecan (http://agrilifebookstore.org).

Pest Management Principles For many years, growers minimized pest damage to

pecans by spraying insecticides on a schedule based on crop development. This effective, relatively inexpensive approach fit well with a preventive fungicide and zinc spray program.

However, applying insecticides according to a schedule can

■ increase the risk that pests will develop resistance to insecticides,

■ reduce populations of beneficial insects that keep pests in check,

■ result in secondary pest outbreaks, and ■ can negatively impact human health and the environ-

ment when they are overused. “Integrated pest management” is a philosophy used to

design pest control programs. It uses the most compatible and ecologically sound combination of pest suppression techniques available to sustain profitability and lower risks

to the environment and to human health. These manage-ment techniques include:

■ cultural control: such as destroying crop residues where some pests overwinter;

■ host plant resistance: selecting pecan varieties that are well adapted and, when available, have genetic resistance to pests;

■ chemical control: using insecticides only when pest densities exceed economically damaging levels and, when available, selecting effective insecticides that have the least impact on natural enemies and non-target organisms; and

■ biological control: recognizing and protecting natu-ral enemies that suppress pest populations.

Insecticides are important in managing pecan pests, but they should be used wisely and only when needed to prevent economic loss. Base the decision to apply an insec-ticide on established treatment thresholds of insect density or damage, as determined by frequent orchard surveys. Do not add insecticides to fungicide or zinc sprays unless it has been determined that an insect pest has or will exceed a treatment threshold. Choose insecticides and rates care-fully according to their effectiveness, the hazard they pose to the applicator, and their impact on beneficial insects.

Studies have shown that broad-spectrum insecticide applications are sometimes followed by outbreaks of aphids, mites or leaf miners. This may result from the destruction of natural enemies that were holding these secondary pests in check. Insecticides also may have physiological effects on the tree or on pests that favor pest survival or increased reproduction.

Outbreaks of aphids or spider mites may follow the use of pyrethroid insecticides, carbaryl or phosmet (Imidan®). Use these insecticides only to control late-season pests. Pyrethroids should not be used in orchards where mite or aphid outbreaks have occurred following their use.

The frequent use of some insecticides can cause some insect pests to become resistant. Aphids are especially prone to developing resistance. These resistant insects survive and pass on their genes for resistance to their off-spring. Each time the insecticide is applied, the proportion of resistant insects in the population increases. Soon, the insecticide is no longer effective.

Insecticides are classified according to their modes of action, or the ways they kill insect pests. The develop-

ment of insecticide resistance can be managed by using insecticides only when necessary and rotating the use of insecticides with different modes of action, as indicated by the IRAC group number on the pesticide label. It is dif-ficult for an insect to develop resistance to two insecticides that have different modes of action. Therefore, rotating insecticides with different modes of action is a good way to preserve the effectiveness of insecticides.

The mode of action of labeled pecan insecticides is identified by the IRAC mode of action number. To rotate insecticides, choose effective insecticides with different mode of action numbers. Rotating by brand name is often not effective because the same active ingredient (and same mode of action) is often sold under different brand names. For example, the active ingredient imidacloprid is sold under 22 different brand names. Rotating among these 22 products is not an effective resistance management strategy as they are all group 4A insecticides, as shown in Table 12. These imidacloprid products should be rotated with any other effective insecticide that is not a group 4 insecticide. When rotating insecticides, refer to the insecticide modes of action numbering system shown in Table 12.

Biological control Adverse weather, inadequate food supply, or natural

enemies may hold insect and mite populations below damaging levels. It is important to recognize the impact of these natural control factors and, where possible, encour-age them.

Biological control is the use of living organisms (parasites, predators and diseases) to reduce pest num-bers. Important natural enemies of pecan pests include lacewings, spiders, lady beetles, assassin bugs, predatory mites, and many kinds of tiny wasps that parasitize insect pests. Biological control includes conserving, augmenting and importing natural enemies.

Conserve existing populations of natural enemies in the orchard by minimizing insecticide applications and by using insecticides least toxic to the natural enemy. For example, Confirm®, Intrepid®, spinosad and B.t. formula-tions are less toxic to most beneficial insects and other non-target species than are carbamate, pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides. Ground covers such as legumes can provide food and shelter for natural enemies. Unsprayed native pecans serve as reservoirs of natural enemies that can move into adjacent sprayed orchards.

Augmentation involves periodically buying and releasing natural enemies. However, research to date has shown that releasing convergent lady beetles, lacewings or Trichogramma wasps does not provide significant pest control in pecans.

Insecticide application Thorough tree coverage is essential for maximum pest

control. Low-volume sprayers (mist blowers, air blast spray-ers, speed sprayers, etc.) use forced air to deliver a concen-trated spray mix and require proportionately less water than high-volume hydraulic sprayers. Concentrated low-volume spraying saves water and time. The amount of pesticide applied per acre must be consistent with the label and is the same regardless of how much water is applied.

To calibrate a sprayer, fill the spray tank with water only and spray a known acreage of trees (e.g., 5 acres). Measure the amount of water remaining in the tank to determine the number gallons of water applied. To determine the num-ber of gallons applied per acre, divide the amount of water applied by the number of acres sprayed. For example, if 300 gallons were used to treat 5 acres, then the sprayer is deliver-ing 60 gallons per acre. In this example, a 500-gallon sprayer would treat 8.3 acres.

Then add the amount of formulated insecticide needed to treat the number of acres the spray tank treats. For example: If the label rate was 1 pint per acre, add 8.3 pints of pesticide to 500 gallons of water.

Recalibrate sprayers for different tree sizes and spacing, as these factors change the volume of spray required for cov-erage. Carefully follow the sprayer manufacturer’s directions for mixing spray materials and for calibration.

Chemical use precautions Select the suggested insecticide which provides the most

effective, safe and economical control. All suggested materi-als should be considered poisonous, but proper handling reduces the hazards associated with their use. Comply with the manufacturer’s label directions for handling all agricul-tural chemicals.

Residues: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established pesticide residue tolerances on pecans. These regulations establish the amount of a specific chemical that can be present in or on pecans at harvest. Always consult the product label for specific use restrictions. Be sure the pesticide is registered for use on pecans and is used only in accordance with specific application instructions.

Caution: All pesticides are potentially hazardous to humans, animals and non-target crops. Use them with caution. Store all pesticides out of the reach of children, irresponsible people, livestock and household pets. Properly dispose of leftover spray materials and containers.

Pesticide drift: Do not let pesticide drift to nearby land or contaminate ponds and streams.

Poisoning symptoms: Some symptoms of pesticide poi-soning are headaches, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, weakness, blurred vision and muscular twitching. If you notice any of these symptoms during or after handling any pesticide, consult a physician immediately.

The USERS are always responsible for the effects of pesticide residues on their livestock and crops, as well as for problems that could arise from drift or movement of the pesticide from their property to that of others. Always read and follow carefully the instructions on the container label.

Pecan pests PHYLLOXERA Damage

Phylloxera are tiny, soft-bodied insects closely related to aphids. These insects cause conspicu-ous swellings, called galls, to form on leaves, twigs and nuts. The two most important species attacking pecans are pecan leaf phyl-loxera and pecan phylloxera.

Insecticides for phylloxera must be applied after egg hatch in the spring but before nymphs are protected inside galls. Treat after bud break when growth is 1 to 2 inches long.

SawflySawfly larvae feed on the underside of pecan leaves in

the spring. Sawfly larvae resemble caterpillars but they are actually larvae of a wasp. Sawfly larvae have 6 sets of abdominal prolegs, while larvae of moths and butterflies have 1 to 4 sets of abdominal prolegs. Two species are found on pecan. The larva of one species is shiny green and its feeding results in small holes cut in the leaf. The larva of the other species is yellowish brown to orange with black spots along the body, and these larvae gener-ally consume the entire leaf. There is only one generation a year. There are no guidelines to assist producers in making treatment decisions.

June beetlesJune beetles are brown to brownish-red, hard-bodied

beetles about ½- to ¾-inch long. June beetles feed on pecan leaves at night and large numbers of beetles can defoliate pecan trees almost overnight. Look for beetles feeding on leaves at night. It is often difficult to diagnose them as the cause of the leaf feeding in pecans because June beetles hide just below the soil surface during the day. Damage occurs in the spring when beetles emerge from the soil. Immature June beetles, called white grubs, feed on grass roots and are not a pest of pecans.

Pecan leaf phylloxera form galls on leaves only; extensive infestations may cause some defoliation. The pecan phyllox-era is the most damaging species because it attacks shoots and nuts. Extensive infestations of this species can reduce yield and the tree’s vitality and subsequent production.

Biology Both species of Phylloxera survive the winter as eggs

in bark crevices. In spring, tiny nymphs emerge during bud break and feed on new growth. As they feed, nymphs secrete a substance that stimulates plant tissue to develop abnormally, creating galls. The young phylloxera are soon completely enclosed in the galls, which range from 1/10 to 1 inch in diameter. Phylloxera feed and complete develop-ment inside the gall. Galls then crack open and winged, adult phylloxera emerge.

Some female leaf phylloxera adults deposit eggs and the hatching nymphs result in a second and sometimes third generation of galls if new growth is available during the season. Other females overwinter and deposit eggs the following spring. The more destructive pecan phylloxera form no additional galls. These females hide in protected places on the bark and die, their eggs remaining inside the mothers’ protective bodies throughout the winter.

Control Native trees and improved varieties vary in suscep-

tibility to phylloxera. Because phylloxera cannot fly far, infestations move slowly from tree to tree. You can often control them by treating only those trees with phylloxera galls. Survey the orchard in May and mark trees with galls to treat the next spring.

PECAN NUT CASEBEARER Damage

The pecan nut casebearer is found in all pecan-growing areas of Texas and can cause serious crop loss almost every year if left uncontrolled. Casebearer larvae or caterpillars feed inside pecan nuts. First-generation larvae feed inside small nutlets from April to June. This generation is most damaging, as a single larva often destroys all the nutlets in a cluster. Larvae of later generations require just one or two nuts to complete their feeding, as pecans are larger at that time.

Biology The adult casebearer is a gray moth about 1/3 inch long

with a ridge of dark scales across the forewings. The moths are active only at night when they mate and lay eggs on pecan nuts. Most eggs are found on the nutlet tips. Each female lays 50 to 150 eggs during her 5- to 8-day life. The greenish-white to white eggs change to pink or red before hatch.

Casebearer eggs hatch in 4 to 5 days; young larvae crawl to nearby buds below the nuts to begin feeding. The empty white egg shell remains on the nut. After feeding for a day or two on a bud below the nut cluster, the tiny larvae enter the pecan nut, often tunneling in at the base.

Silk and black frass (excrement) are often visible on the outsides of infested nuts. Larvae feed inside pecan nuts for 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the tem-perature. They are olive gray and reach a length of about 1 inch. Full-grown larvae pupate in the pecan nut; adult moths emerge about 9 to 14 days later.

The pecan nut casebearer completes several generations each year. Adults of the overwintering generation emerge in April and May and lay eggs on pecan nutlets soon after pollination. First-generation larvae feed on nutlets and mature to moths. These moths lay eggs for the second-generation in grooves on the tips or bases of nuts, or on buds. Second-generation larvae attack the nuts in midsummer about 42 days after nut entry by first-generation larvae.

Third-generation eggs are deposited on nuts from late July to early September. These larvae feed only in the shucks if the pecan shells have hardened sufficiently to prevent penetration into the kernel. Many third- and later-generation larvae do not feed, but crawl to the base of a dormant bud and build tiny, tough, silken cocoons where they spend the winter. In spring, these immature larvae leave the cocoon, called a hibernaculum. They feed on buds and tunnel in developing shoots until they are full-grown. Larvae then pupate in shoot tunnels or in bark crevices. Casebearer moths soon emerge to lay first-gener-ation eggs on nutlets.

Note: Other insecticides, including chlorpyrifos, pyrethroid insecticides, combinations of these active ingredients, and malathion, are also labeled for PNC control in pecans. However, these broad spectrum insecticides can have a negative impact on beneficial insects and increase the risk of outbreaks of other pests. For this reason, only insecticides that target primarily pecan nut casebearer and other related caterpillar pests are included in this table. See Table 12 for list of all insecticides labeled

Control Often a single, carefully timed insecticide application

adequately controls above-threshold populations of first-generation casebearer. A second insecticide application may be required if unhatched eggs are found 7 to 10 days after the first application. Time insecticide applications accurately to control newly hatched casebearer larvae before they enter the nuts. Once inside nuts, larvae are protected from insecticides.

To determine whether treatment is needed and when to apply insecticide, examine nuts carefully in spring for casebearer eggs. Infested clusters can be flagged to moni-tor egg hatch. Once they emerge from the egg, the tiny larvae feed for 1 to 2 days on a secondary bud just below the nut cluster and then tunnel into a nutlet. Delaying treatment until the first nut entry is observed maximizes the insecticide’s residual activity. However, consider the time required to treat the orchard, including possible weather delays, so that insecticide is applied before most larvae have entered nuts.

Peak egg lay often occurs during a 2-week period in late April to early May in the southern and coastal areas, or late May and early June in north Texas. Spring tem-peratures influence casebearer development; cool, rainy weather can delay moth activity and egg laying. Thus, the egg-laying period can vary as much as 2 weeks from year to year, depending on spring weather. Knowing when to scout the orchard for eggs and when to apply an insecti-cide, if needed, are two important components of manag-ing pecan nut casebearer.

When to scout for eggs The PNCforecast System is a web-based tool that pecan

growers can use to determine when to scout for pecan nut casebearer (PNC) eggs in the spring and anticipate when an insecticide, if needed, should be applied. To use the PNCforecast System, you must monitor PNC moth flight in your orchard using PNC pheromone traps as described in the next section. The PNCforecast System uses PNC moth trap data to estimate egg-laying activity during the next 2 to 3 weeks and is therefor customized to the unique conditions of the orchard where the trap data were col-lected. The PNCforecast System is available on-line at http://pecan.ipmpipe.org.

The PNCforecast System calculates dates when first generation eggs are expected to be present in the orchard and the optimum dates to begin scouting the orchard for PNC eggs. Egg laying can vary by as much as 2 to 3 weeks, so knowing when to look for eggs can save time and help reduce the risk of missing egg laying activity. The PNC-forecast System does not predict if you need to apply an insecticide—it estimates the optimum dates for scouting

the orchard for PNC eggs to determine if an insecticide treatment is justified.

To generate a PNCforecast, you need to know the date when PNC moths begin flying in your orchard. To be sure you capture the first PNC moths in the spring, you must place your traps in the orchard before the first moths fly. In south Texas, traps should be in the orchard by April 1; in central and southwest Texas by April 10; and in north and northwest Texas by April 20. Record the number of captured PNC moths every 1 to 2 days. If no PNC moths are present, enter a zero for that date. Once traps are in the orchard, there should be several inspection dates when no moths are captured to be sure the first moths that appear in your traps are indeed the first ones of the spring flight.

The date when you first capture PNC moths in your traps is very important in generating a reliable forecast. Sometimes one or two moths are captured and then none are captured on subsequent dates. Ignore these early “stragglers” if no new moths are caught on the next inspection date. Once you capture PNC moths on two consecutive dates, the sustained moth flight is underway. Choose the first of the two consecutive dates as the date of first moth capture and enter this date into the PNCfore-cast System. Once you know the date of first moth capture, no additional trap data is needed to generate a PNCfore-cast.You can, however, continue to record trap captures to compare year to year PNC activity.

Once you know the date of the first moth capture, you are ready to generate a PNC forecast for your orchard. Log onto: http://pecan.ipmpipe.org. At the home page, select “Maps” and then under PNC Forecast Map click on “Forecast PNC risk.” After reading the “Warning” state-ment, close the text box using the X at the top right. At the top left, select “Choose Location” and use the arrows in the circle at the top left to find your orchard on the map. Use the magnifying glass to zoom in and out on the map. Once the map is fully magnified and the cursor is at your orchard location, right click. This will place a red pin at your orchard site. The PNCForecast will use the average temperature expected at this location during the next 2 to 3 weeks to predict PNC development. Next, at the top right of your screen, at “Set Biofix”, click on “Select Date” and use the calendar to enter the date on which

you captured the first PNC moths in traps at this orchard location. Once you enter this date, the site will generate a PNC forecast both as a graph and table. The PNCForecast table lists the dates when 10, 25, 50, 75 and 90 percent of all first generation PNC eggs are expected to be present in the orchard. An example is shown below.

Example: PNCforecast system outputForecast Event Dates

Percent of total first-generation eggs expected in orchard

Date

10% May 7

25% May 10

50% May 13

75% May 16

90% May 19

Begin scouting for casebearer eggs on the dates of 25 to 50 percent egg-lay. In the example of a PNCfore-cast Output above, 25 percent of the total eggs of the first generation are expected to be present on May 10 and 50 percent are expected to be present on May 13. The first generation egg-laying period is expected to be nearly com-plete on May 19 when 90 percent of all expected eggs are predicted to be present.

The period when 25 to 50 percent of eggs should be present is called the “decision window” because orchard scouting at this time can often find a sufficient number of eggs to make a decision regarding an insecticide treat-ment. (Guidelines for deciding when an infestation justi-fies an insecticide treatment are discussed below.) How-ever, if the percent infested cluster is below the treatment level during the period of 25 to 50 percent egg-lay, scout for eggs and larvae again on the dates of 50 to 75 percent oviposition. If eggs and larvae numbers are still too low to justify an insecticide treatment, scout a third time on the dates of 75 to 90 percent oviposition to determine if the casebearer infestation has increased. If densities of eggs and larvae are still below the treatment level on the date of 90 percent egg-lay, then treatment during the first genera-tion may not be justified.

Note that the percentages in the table (generated by the PNCforecast Sytem) are NOT the expected percent of nutlets infested with eggs, but rather the proportion of the total eggs expected to be present in the orchard during the first generation (spring). Only orchard scouting can deter-mine how many nutlets have casebearer eggs or larvae.

The PNCforecast System also provides information on casebearer egg-laying activity from selected sites in Texas and other states. These forecasts are based upon data col-lected by Extension agents, entomologists, Master Garden-ers, and cooperating pecan growers. This information may

be of interest if you are not monitoring traps yourself or want to see casebearer activity at other locations. To view these PNCforecasts, log onto http://pecan.ipmpipe.org and under the Maps option select PNC Risk Map.

Do not rely only on the PNCforecast System to make management decisions. The system is only a tool to help you plan orchard scouting and insecticide treatment, if needed. Information provided by this application is for educational purposes only. Treatment decisions should not be based solely on PNCforecast output. The PNCforecast cannot account for differences in environmental condi-tions at weather stations and actual orchard conditions. Growers should base management decisions on their assessment of eggs and larvae in their orchards, crop load, characteristics of the insecticide used, time needed to treat the orchard, and other factors unique to their operations.

Scouting to determine the need for control Inspect nuts to determine if casebearer infestations are

large enough to justify treatment. A sampling plan has been developed to determine if infestations warrant an insecticide application. The plan is based on the assump-tion that treatment is justified when an infestation is large enough to destroy 5 percent or more of the nuts expected to be harvested. The sampling plan, based on research in Texas, is as follows:

If you are using the PNCforecast System, begin search-ing for eggs on the dates of predicted 25 to 50 percent egg-lay (see discussion above on When to Scout for Eggs). If you are using the PNC Risk Map at http://pecan.ipmpipe.org, begin scouting on the Decision Window dates near-est your location. Another option is to begin scouting 7 to 10 days after the first moths are captured in pheromone traps. You can also monitor egg hatch and time treatment by tagging and observing eggs on infested clusters.

To assess egg infestations, examine 10 nut clusters per tree on 31 trees. A cluster is considered infested if it has a casebearer egg or nut entry. If two or more infested clusters are found before 310 nut clusters are sampled, the casebearer population is large enough to damage more than 5 percent of the nuts expected to be harvested and an insecticide treat-ment is needed to prevent this economic loss.

If you find fewer than two infested clusters, sample again 2 to 3 days later (at 50 to 75 percent predicted egg-lay). If no treatment is indicated, sample again 2 days later (at 75 to 90 percent predicted egg-lay). A third sample is especially important if nights have been cold and rainy, because this can delay egg laying. If you find fewer than three infested clusters, no treatment is warranted. Finding three or more infested clusters at this time indicates some damage may occur. Consider the effect of rainy weather on egg laying and crop load in making treatment decisions at this time.

Replace traps or trap liners when the sticky material becomes covered with moth scales, dust or other debris. To avoid contaminating the lure, use forceps or the tip of a pocketknife blade to transfer the pheromone lure to the new trap or liner.

The first casebearer male moths are usually captured 2 weeks before the best time to apply an insecticide. During this time, trap catches usually increase and then begin to decline over a 2- to 3-week period. You may be tempted to apply an insecticide when large numbers of casebearer moths appear in the traps. However, this could be a week or more before treatment, if needed, should be applied.

Research indicates that the number of captured moths accurately reflects patterns of moth activity. Trap catches cannot be used to predict the threat of damage by case-bearer larvae or the need to apply an insecticide. For this reason, you need to scout nutlets closely for eggs and nut entry and use the sampling plan described above to determine if an infestation is damaging enough to justify applying insecticide.

Pheromone traps can also be used to monitor flights of later casebearer generations. A second moth flight can be detected about 6 weeks after the spring flight. It fol-lows a similar pattern of increase and decline during a 2- to 3-week flight. Nut entry occurs about 12 to 16 days after the second moth flight begins. This is the best time to apply insecticide for second summer-generation case-bearer, if needed. As with the first summer generation, base your decision to treat the orchard on the presence of eggs and larvae, not the number of moths captured.

The pheromone trap will capture casebearer moths even when an economic infestation of larvae does not develop. Pheromone traps continue to capture moths of the third and fourth generations throughout the sum-mer and into November. However, these later generations rarely threaten nut production.

WALNUT CATERPILLAR Walnut caterpillars feed together in large numbers

on pecan leaves but do not build silken webs like fall webworms. Larvae eat leaves, leaving only the mid-ribs and leaf stems. Large infestations can defoliate entire trees. This insect is found throughout Texas east of the Pecos River. Although economic infesta-tions are uncommon, severe and widespread outbreaks of walnut caterpillar have occa-sionally occurred in Texas. Walnut caterpillar

Monitoring pecan nut casebearer moth activity with pheromone traps

Information from pheromone-baited traps can be used with the PNCforecast System to help determine when to begin scouting for first-generation casebearer eggs (see discussion above on When to Scout for Eggs). The case-bearer pheromone is the unique chemical that female moths release to attract male moths. The pheromone is loaded into a rubber lure placed inside a sticky trap, where it attracts male casebearer moths. By periodically record-ing trap catch, you can detect and monitor the emergence of male casebearer. This information can be used to antici-pate when eggs will be laid and when nut entry will occur.

Pheromone lures and traps are commonly sold together as kits. Kits sold for pecan nut casebearer use the Phero-con 3 Delta trap, the Pherocon VI trap, or the Intercept-A trap. All of these trap designs are effective in determining the pattern of moth activity. For a list of suppliers selling traps and lures, see http://pecankernel.tamu.edu. When traps have a removable liner it is easier to see and identify the casebearer moths.

Pheromone lures should be kept frozen until used. Lures should be replaced every 6 to 8 weeks, removed from the orchard and discarded.

Three to five pheromone traps are enough to determine the pattern of moth activity in a given location. As a general guide, monitor three to five traps for orchards smaller than 50 acres and five to ten traps for orchards larger than 50 acres. Place traps throughout the orchards, especially where temperature conditions vary, such as between river bottom sites and upland sites. Place traps near the terminal of a nut-bearing limb at a convenient height. Traps must be in the orchard before the moth flight begins to ensure that the date the first moth is captured represents the beginning of moth activity. In south Texas, traps should be in the orchard by April 1; in central and southwest Texas, by April 10; and in north and northwest Texas, by April 20.

Monitor traps at least every 1 to 2 days until case-bearer moths are captured on at least two consecutive dates (see above discussion). Frequent monitoring is necessary to detect the first flush of moth activity. Once you have captured moths on two consecutive dates, fur-ther monitoring is not needed for the PNCforecast sys-tem. However, you may want to continue recording trap captures every 4 to 5 days for 2 to 3 weeks to maintain a record of moth flight for future reference. Each time you check the trap, count and record the number of captured casebearers and record the date. Remove from the trap all moths, other insects, and any leaves or twigs. Do not con-fuse pecan nut casebearer moths with pecan bud moths or other imposters (see photograph on p. 6) sometimes captured in pheromone traps.

Biology Walnut caterpillar moths emerge in spring and deposit

eggs in masses of 500 or more on the undersides of leaves. The egg masses are round, about the size of a half dollar, and are not covered with hairs or scales. Eggs hatch in about 10 days; larvae feed for about 25 days. Young larvae are reddish brown with yellow lines running the length of the body. Full-grown larvae are about 2 inches long, black with grayish lines, and are covered with long, soft, gray hairs.

Larvae congregate in large masses on the trunk and scaffold branches to shed their skins before crawling back to complete feeding on leaves. These final-stage larvae consume most of the foliage, and defoliation can occur very quickly. Mature larvae crawl to the soil to pupate. A generation is completed in about 6 to 8 weeks. There are two to three generations each year.

Control Because walnut caterpillars do not build tents or webs,

infestations often go unnoticed until leaf damage becomes obvious. To detect infestations early, look for egg masses or leaf feeding. Egg masses can be detected at night by shining a flashlight on the undersides of leaves and look-ing for white spots about the size of a half dollar.

Caterpillars cause 80 percent of their damage during the last 3 to 4 days of feeding. Smaller larvae are easier to kill with insecticides than larger larvae; controlling this stage prevents serious damage. Insecticide treatment may be necessary if large infestations threaten to defoliate trees.

YELLOW APHIDS Aphids are small, soft-bodied

insects that suck sap from pecan leaves. There are two species of “yellow” or “honeydew” aphids—the blackmargined aphid, Monel-lia caryella, and the yellow pecan aphid, Monelliopsis pecanis.

The blackmargined aphid has a black stripe along the outside margin of its wings, which are held flat over the body. The yellow pecan aphid holds its wings roof-like over its body and lacks the black stripe along the wing margin. Immature aphids are difficult to identify because they lack wings. Infestations may contain both species.

Blackmargined aphid infestations typically increase to large numbers during June to August and then decline

Black-margined aphid

after about 3 weeks. Outbreaks on most cultivars (except possibly “Cheyenne”) usually decline without causing measurable damage to foliage or yield.

The yellow pecan aphid occurs later in the season. Out-breaks of this species can defoliate trees and reduce yield and quality on most cultivars.

Damage Both species of yellow aphids have piercing/sucking

mouthparts for removing water and plant nutrients from leaf veins. As they feed, aphids excrete large amounts of excess sugars. This sticky material, called honeydew, col-lects on leaves.

Honeydew is a food source for sooty mold, which can cover leaves when humidity is high. The shading effect of sooty mold can reduce photosynthesis. Studies have shown that aphid feeding can reduce leaf efficiency and large, persistent infestations of the yellow pecan aphid, M. pecanis, can defoliate trees. This leaf injury and loss can reduce current and subsequent yields and quality because of lower carbohydrate production.

Biology Yellow aphid eggs survive the winter hidden in bark

crevices on twigs and tree trunks. Immature aphids, called nymphs, hatch in spring and begin to feed on newly expanded leaves. Nymphs mature in about a week and give birth to live young. All individuals are females, which reproduce without males during spring and summer. In late September and October, both males and females occur, and females deposit overwintering eggs.

Control Aphids have a short life cycle and high reproductive

capacity, so infestations can increase quickly under favor-able conditions. Natural enemies, including lacewings, lady beetles, spiders and other insects, can suppress aphid infestations if there are enough of them. However, insec-ticides applied for aphids or other pests can sometimes destroy these natural enemies, allowing aphids to increase to even greater densities than before treatment.

Inspect leaves frequently to monitor yellow aphid den-sities. Treatment of either species of yellow aphid may be justified on “Cheyenne” when aphid densities are high and persist for several weeks. “Pawnee” is the least susceptible cultivar to yellow aphids, and insecticide treatment for yellow aphids is not normally needed on this variety.

Consider treatment when infestations of yellow pecan aphid exceed 25 per compound leaf. Scouting the orchard on a 4- to 5-day schedule will reveal whether yellow pecan aphid numbers are increasing or decreasing and indicate the need for insecticide treatment. Do not base the need

11

for treatment on the amount of honeydew alone, as infes-tations often decline rapidly (“crash”) because of weather or physiological effects.

Insecticides do not consistently control either species of yellow aphid. Aphids may become resistant to an insec-ticide used frequently in an orchard. An insecticide that is effective in one orchard may be ineffective in a nearby orchard. Studies have shown that in some cases, applica-tions of applications of pyrethroid insecticides Group 3A

(lamda-cyhalothrin, zeta-cypermethrin, etc.) and chlro-pyrifos (Group 1B) may be followed by large increases in yellow aphids. If this occurs, rotate to an insecticide not in Group 3A or 1B. Also, frequent use of products contain-ing imidacloprid (Group 4) may increase aphid resistance, leading to control failures. To reduce this risk, rotate with an insecticide not in the class 4 group (Table 5). For fur-ther information on managing insecticide resistance, see the discussion under Pest Management Principles.

HICKORY SHUCKWORM Hickory shuckworm is an important mid- and late-

season pest of pecans throughout much of Texas.

Damage Shuckworm larvae

tunnel in the shuck, inter-rupting the flow of nutri-ents and water needed for normal kernel development. Infested nuts are scarred, late maturing and of poor quality. Damaged shucks stick to the nuts and fail to open, creating “sticktights” that reduce harvesting effi-ciency. Infestations before shell hardening may cause nuts to fall.

Biology Adult shuckworms are dark brown to grayish black

moths about 3/8 inch long. They are active in spring before pecan nuts are available. Adults deposit eggs on hickory nuts and pecan buds. Larvae on pecan feed in phylloxera galls in spring. Later in the season when pecan nuts are present, moths deposit eggs singly on the nuts.

The egg is attached to the shuck with a creamy white substance visible on the shuck surface. The tiny larva hatches in a few days and burrows into the shuck to feed for about 15 to 20 days. Mature larvae are about ½ inch long and cream colored with light brown heads. Pupation occurs in the shuck and the moth soon emerges.

Several generations are completed each year. Shuck-worms overwinter as full-grown larvae in old pecan shucks on the tree or the orchard floor.

Control Pecans are most susceptible to hickory shuckworm

damage during the water through gel stages. If the orchard has a history of shuckworm damage, treat with insecticide

Hickory shuckworm damage

when pecans reach the half-shell hardening stage. A sec-ond application 10 to 14 days later may be needed.

Early-maturing varieties such as “Pawnee” must be treated earlier for hickory shuckworm. Removing and destroying old shucks and dropped nuts, where shuck-worms overwinter, can reduce shuckworm infestations.

There are pheromone traps that attract and capture hickory shuckworm moths. However, there are no reliable guidelines for using trap catches to time scouting for eggs or insecticide application.

FALL WEBWORM Fall webworm caterpillars build large silken webs in

pecan trees. A hundred or more caterpillars may be found inside the web, where they feed on pecan leaves. Large infestations may cover the tree with webs, causing severe defoliation.

Biology Mature larvae are about 1 inch long, pale yellow or

green, and covered with tufts of long, white hairs. The adult is a white moth with dark spots on the wings. Female moths emerge in spring and deposit eggs in masses of several hundred on the undersides of pecan and other tree leaves. The greenish-white eggs are covered by gray hairs left by the female. There are two to four genera-tions each year, depending on location in the state. The last, or fall, generation is usually the most damaging.

Control Many insect parasites and predators feed on and

reduce the number of fall webworm larvae. Also, insecti-cides applied for other pecan pests help reduce webworm densities. If webs are common and the potential defolia-tion appears unacceptable, spot spraying of infested trees may be practical. The insecticide spray must penetrate the web to be effective. Insecticides listed in Table 5 for the control of hickory shuckworm are also effective in con-trolling fall webworm.

pecan aphids per com-pound leaf can cause severe leaf damage and defolia-tion. Although they some-times can be found on the upper side of the leaf, black pecan aphids feed primar-ily on the undersides of leaves and occur through-out the pecan growing region of Texas.

Damage While feeding, black pecan aphids inject a toxin that

turns the leaf tissue between major veins bright yellow. These damaged areas, up to 1/4 inch across, turn brown and die, and infested leaves soon fall. Premature defolia-tion reduces nut fill and the next year’s production.

Biology The black pecan aphid is pear-shaped. Nymphs are

dark olive-green and adults, which may be winged, are black. Like yellow aphids, all summer forms are females that reproduce without mating. Male and female forms appear in fall and females lay eggs that overwinter on branches. Densities often are very low until August or Sep-tember, when infestations can increase rapidly. Note that yellow pecan aphids that are parasitized will turn black, and can be confused with black pecan aphids. Parasit-ized aphids are dead and stuck on the leaf surface and do not move while live black pecan aphids quickly fly when disturbed.

Control Monitor the orchard frequently for black pecan aphids

and their characteristic leaf injury. Because these aphids feed singly and can be damaging in low numbers, examine leaves closely. Examine the interior of the canopy where

Black aphid

PECAN LEAF SCORCH MITES The pecan leaf scorch mite is the most important spi-

der mite attacking pecans.

Damage Large numbers of these tiny mites feed on the under-

sides of pecan leaves. Mites suck plant sap, causing irregu-lar brown spots on infested leaves. Infestations often develop first along the leaf midrib. Damaged leaves appear russeted or scorched. Large infestations can result in leaf loss, especially if trees are under moisture stress.

Biology Scorch mites overwinter as adults in the rough bark

of limbs. Adult females begin laying eggs in spring. Mites can complete a generation in 5 to 15 days and are more numerous during hot, dry weather. Natural enemies of scorch mites, including predatory mite species, are impor-tant in controlling these pests.

Control Because scorch mites prefer the shady, interior portion

of the tree, significant damage can occur before infesta-tions are detected. Check water sprouts and shady, lower branches to detect early mite infestations. Mites may increase after some insecticides (e.g., Sevin® and other car-baryl formulations) are applied for hickory shuckworm, aphids or other pests. Monitor the orchard for mites when the weather is hot and dry and after insecticides are used. Spray when mites are present and damaging leaves. Mark infested trees or areas to determine whether spot treat-ment is practical.

BLACK PECAN APHID The black pecan aphid is much more destructive than

the two species of yellow aphid. An average of three black

infestation often begins. In general, treat when black pecan aphids average three per compound leaf.

In most cases, black pecan aphids are easier to control with insecticides than yellow aphids. Insecticides for black pecan aphid are listed in Table 4. Natural enemies are important in keeping the number of black pecan aphids low.

STINK BUGS AND LEAFFOOTED BUGS Several species of brown and green stink bugs and leaf-

footed bugs feed on pecan nuts. Infestations often develop on soybeans, sorghum, other field crops or weeds and then move into pecans in late sum-mer and fall.

Damage Stink bugs and leaffooted

bugs have piercing-sucking mouthparts and penetrate the shuck to feed on the develop-ing kernel. Nuts injured before the shells harden fall from the tree. Feeding after shell hardening causes brown or black spots on the kernel. Affected areas taste bitter.

Biology These bugs overwinter as adults under fallen leaves

and in other sheltered places on the ground. Populations increase in summer when adults lay eggs on many crops and weeds. Fields of soybeans, other legumes and sorghum may

Stink bug

be sources of adults that fly to pecans. Infestations are usu-ally largest from September through shuck split.

Control Brown stinkbugs are more difficult to kill with insecti-

cides than are green stinkbugs and leaffooted bugs. Weed control in and near the orchard helps suppress

stink bugs and lower the possibility of their moving into pecans. Some growers also have planted “trap crops” to lure adult stinkbugs and leaffooted bugs away from pecans. Black eye, purple hull and crowder peas or mil-let planted in plots or in a single row along the edge of the pecan orchard in the last week of July through the first week of August are attractive crops for these pests. To maintain a trap crop longer into the fall, stagger the plantings by a couple of weeks. Monitor the peas or millet for adult leaffooted and stink bugs when the plants begin to bloom and set seed. Apply an insecticide to the trap crop to kill stink bugs and leaffooted bugs once the crop stops blooming and is maturing seed. This treatment is necessary to kill the bugs before they leave and fly into the pecans. Before planting a trap crop, make sure you have enough available water to obtain a stand and are planting a variety of pea suited to the soil type and soil pH of the orchard. You will also need to control weeds and prevent livestock and wildlife from grazing plots.

GRASSHOPPERSGrasshoppers can move into pecan orchards from adja-

cent crops, pastures and weedy areas and feed on pecan leaves and developing nuts. Weed control in and around

the orchard can deprive grasshoppers of food. Pyrethroid insecticides (lambda-cyhalothrin, zeta-cypermethrin, bifenthrin), chlorpyrifos and carbaryl labeled for use in pecans, kill grasshoppers. However, their residual control is limited and frequent reapplication may be required when grasshoppers continue to move into the orchard from adja-cent areas. Treat the orchard floor, fence rows and areas surrounding the orchard to create a buffer zone.

PECAN WEEVIL The pecan weevil is found throughout most of Texas

(see map). Where present, the pecan weevil is the most damaging late-season pecan pest. Infestations are often localized and vary greatly within orchards.

Damage In August, adult weevils begin to emerge from the soil

and feed on nuts in the water stage, causing them to drop. After the kernel has entered the gel stage, the nut is sus-ceptible to egg laying and attack by pecan weevil larvae.

Infested nuts remain on the tree while the developing larvae consume the kernels. Full-grown larvae emerge from nuts in late fall or early winter through a round hole chewed through the shell.

Biology The life cycle of the pecan weevil egg, larva, pupa and

adult usually is completed in 2 years but may require 3. Adult weevils begin emerging from the soil in August; their numbers peak from late August through early September. Rainfall, soil moisture and soil type influence the ability of the weevils to emerge from the soil. Drought can delay adult emergence until rain or irrigation loosens the soil.

Adult weevils feed on nuts and live for several weeks. Once nuts reach the gel stage, they are suitable for egg lay-ing. For this reason, early-maturing varieties are infested first. The female weevil drills a hole through the shell and deposits one or more eggs within the developing kernel. A single female lays eggs in about 30 nuts.

Larvae hatch from the eggs and feed inside the nut, destroying the kernel. Larvae emerge from the nuts about 42 days after the eggs are deposited. Emergence of full-grown larvae from nuts begins in late September and continues as late as December.

Larvae burrow 4 to 12 inches into the soil and build cells, where they remain for 8 to 10 months. Most of the larvae then pupate and transform to the adult stage within a few weeks. However, the adults remain in the underground cells for a second year before emerging from the soil the follow-ing summer. Those larvae (about 10 percent) not pupating after the first year remain as larvae for 2 years and then emerge from the soil as adults the third year.

Monitoring In most years, economic damage occurs if pecan wee-

vils are left untreated. Monitoring weevil emergence from the soil helps determine the optimum timing of insecti-cide treatments and the need to reapply insecticides.

Depending on environmental conditions, the emergence of adult weevils may be completed in a week or less or last for 4 to 5 weeks or more. These variations are caused pri-marily by differences in soil hardness, as influenced by soil texture and rainfall or irrigation. Peak emergence typically occurs from August through mid-September.

There are several methods of detecting and monitoring adult weevils. One involves jarring limbs to knock adult weevils onto a sheet placed on the ground, where they are easily seen. Fallen pecans can also be examined for feed-ing and egg-laying punctures made by adults.

Trapping weevils is the most reliable way to determine adult weevil emergence. The pyramid trap can be bought,

Pecan weevil

but it and the other types of traps can be built easily fol-lowing instructions found at http://pecankernel.tamu.edu. Begin monitoring traps about 1 to 2 weeks before the first pecans enter the gel stage. In central Texas, begin trap-ping about the first week of August and continue through shuck split.

Wire cone traps. Wire cone traps are built from 1/8-inch-mesh hardware cloth. Place traps on the soil beneath “scout” trees known to have a history of high wee-vil numbers. Weevils emerging from the soil beneath the trap crawl up the sides of the trap and are captured inside the jar at the top.

Inspect traps every 2 to 3 days, record the captured wee-vils and remove them from the traps. The number of traps you will need depends on the orchard size and weevil den-sity. Ten to 15 traps per orchard are often enough to monitor weevil activity. To estimate weevil density, arrange 12 traps per tree under each of 10 trees (120 traps). This is the only method that gives an accurate population estimate that can be compared with the treatment threshold.

Pyramid or “Tedders” traps. Pyramid traps are built of two triangular pieces of ½-inch hardboard that interlock to form a 4-foot-tall pyramid. The trap is painted a dark color and fitted with a container at the top for capturing weevils.

When placed in the orchard, pyramid traps appar-ently simulate a tree trunk and attract adult pecan weevils emerging from the soil. Weevils walk or fly to the trap and crawl up the sides until captured in the container at the top. Place one trap beneath the canopy of each scout tree. Remove grass, weeds and fallen branches from around the tree and trap to increase its attractiveness. Painting the adjacent tree trunk with whitewash or paint decreases its attractiveness to weevils and increases the number of weevils attracted to the dark pyramid trap.

As with cone traps, record the number of captured weevils and remove them and other insects and spiders from the traps every 2 to 3 days. The number of traps needed to monitor weevil emergence depends on orchard size and weevil density. Ten to 15 traps per orchard is often enough to monitor weevil activity.

Circle trap. Because wire cone and pyramid traps are placed on the orchard floor, they interfere with mowing and can be damaged by grazing cattle. Trunk and circle traps were designed to avoid these problems, as they are placed on the tree trunk. Also, these traps can be left in the orchard, unlike other types that must be removed for harvest.

A circle trap is built much like the wire cone trap and fastened to the trunk of the pecan tree. Adult weevils crawling up the tree trunk are funneled into the trap and captured in a container at the top.

Trapping merely indicates the presence and relative abundance of adult pecan weevils. The pattern of trap catches, as described above, is helpful in determining when

Page 17: Managing Insect and Mite Pests Commercial Pecans in Texas · Insecticide Active ingredient IRAC group Brand name Remarks Chlorpyrifos 1B Govern® 4E, Hatchet®, Lorsban ® 4E, Lorsban®

17

adult weevils begin to emerge and when insecticide should be reapplied to protect nuts from later emerging adults.

Control Pecan weevils are controlled by foliar insecticides, which

kill adults. Once nuts reach the gel stage, apply insecticide if adult weevils are present. This first insecticide treatment is usually made about August 20-22. A second application 7 to 10 days later is usually necessary unless drought has delayed weevil emergence from the soil. If weevils are late emerging, continue to monitor emergence and reapply the insecticide at 7- to 10-day intervals if weevils continue to emerge. Aphid infestations may increase following insecticide application for pecan weevil control.

Pecan weevil infestations spread slowly unless aided by humans. Do not transport infested nuts to weevil-free orchards, as they can be the source of a new infestation. Also, destroy infested nuts after harvest.

Harvesting early, before weevil grubs have exited the nuts, physically removes grubs from the orchard and can reduce weevil infestations if done each year.

RED IMPORTED FIRE ANT Fire ants can interfere with pecan operations such as

grafting, mowing and harvesting. They may also damage equipment such as electrical motors and irrigation sys-tems. In addition, fire ant stings can be a serious problem for orchard workers. Some formulations of chlorpyrifos are labeled for application as a broadcast spray to the orchard floor and temporarily reduce fire ants. Metho-prene (Extinguish®), pyriproxyfen (Esteem®, Distance®), and hydramethylnon (AmdroPro®) are baits that can be broadcast across the orchard. Fire ants collect the bait par-ticles and carry them back to the colony. The colonies die over a period of weeks or months, depending on the bait product used. For additional information on fire ants, visit the Texas A&M fire ant website at http://fireant.tamu.edu.

Protecting bees and other pollinators from insecticides

Pollination is important in producing many seed crops that may be planted near pecan orchards. Bees may be killed if cover crops such as clovers, alfalfa or vetch are flowering in the orchard during insecticide application. Insecticide applicators and beekeepers should cooperate closely to minimize bee losses.

To prevent heavy bee losses, do not spray colonies or allow insecticide to drift onto colonies. Bees cluster on the fronts of their hives on hot evenings. Pesticide drift or direct spray at this time generally kills many bees.

For more information on protecting pollinators, see http:www.xerces.org

Table 11. Suggested insecticides for control of red imported fire ant. This information is provided for educational purposes. Read and follow label directions.

Insecticide

Active ingredient IRAC group Brand name Remarks

Bearing and nonbearing orchards

Chlorpyrifos 1B Lorsban® 50-WWhirlwind®Hatchet®

Do not graze livestock in treated orchards. Broadcast spray applied to the orchard floor.

Methoprene 7 Extinguish® Livestock grazing permitted

Pyriproxyfen 7 Esteem® See label

For Nonbearing Orchards Only

Hydramethylnon Amdro Pro® Do not harvest food or feed from nonbearing orchards within one year of application. Do not graze.

Pyriproxyfen 7 Distance® Do not harvest food or feed from nonbearing orchards within one year of application. Do not graze.

Insecticides RemarksGroup 1–Highly toxicCarbaryl Chlorpyrifos Cypermethrin Dimethoate Esfenvalerate Imidacloprid Imidan® Lambda-cyhalothrin Malathion Zeta-cypermethrin

This group includes materials that kill bees on contact or for several days afterward. Remove bees from the area if these insecticides are used on plants being visited by bees. Malathion occasionally causes heavy bee losses, particularly during periods of extremely high temperatures. Make malathion applications in the evening after all bees have completed foraging. Avoid ultra-low-volume malathion sprays after blooms appear.

Group 2–Moderately toxicMalathion (EC) Spinosad (Entrust®, SpinTor®)

Do not apply when bees are working in the field. Apply in late evening.

Group 3–Relatively nontoxicBacillus thuringiensis Confirm® 2F Dimilin® Intrepid® Kelthane® Vendex®

Apply in late evening or early morning when bees are not foraging

Seasonal Pecan Pest ProfileThe development of various pecan pests is usually closely related to the seasonal development of the pecan.

Although the severity of insect problems cannot be predicted on a seasonal basis, producers should monitor tree and nut development closely to aid them in predicting insect problems associated with various developmental stages of the pecan.

Developmental stages of the pecan Dormant: Period from leaf drop to bud break. Bud break: The bud scale splits and the leaf begins to expand. Pollination: Catkins are shedding pollen and stigmas are receptive. Water stage: The nut interior is filled with water. Gel stage: Interior of the immature kernel is filled with a gel-like substance. Half shell hardening: Resistance can be felt when making a cross-section cut through the middle of the pecan nut. Dough: The gel of the kernel begins to solidify. Shuck split: Shucks begin to split, exposing the shell.
