(By V. O. Burton)
Texas should have a good
pecan crop in 1957. The heavy
rainfall of recent weeks has
greatly helped pecan tree* that
have suffered from years of
drouth. With a good crop in
prospect, pecan growers are
concerned now with the prob-
lem of controlling the-pecan nut
casebearer. This is the moat
serious insect of pecans in Tex-
as and almost every year is a
direct cause of the Ipss of sever-
al million pounds of nuts.
Until just a few years ago,
few growers tried to control
the casebeaser and in many in-
stances, obtained erratic re-
sults of improper timing, inade-
quate equip meat or improper
application of spray material.
The only way to be highly
accurate in timing the spray ap-
plication is to check closely at
regular intervals for the appear-
ance of the casebearer eggs.
The eggs are usually deposited
singly on the tip or blossom
end of the small pecan nuts.
Their eggs are small (about 1-3
teh size of a pin head), bat can
easily be found against the
brown background of the pol-
linated pecan blossoms. The
eggs are pearly white with a
slight bluish cast when first
laid. In later stages of the in-
cubation period the eggs turn
first pinkish and .then reddish
brown—they hatch in four or
five days. After hattf

small worm moves down below
the pecan cluster and feeds on
the buds in the axil of the leaf
stems immediately under the
cluster. The worm is increasing
in size and appetite at this
stage. After feeding four or
five days on the buds he
moves back to the cluster of
pecans and bores a hole at the
base of a pecan and enters to
feed. One casebearer will com-
monly hollow-out two or three
pecans in a cluster and some-
times more.
The casebearer can be con-
trolled by using a spray mix-
ture of three pounds of 50%
DDT to 100 gallons of water,
two pounds of 15% wettable
parathion to 100 gallons of
water, or three pounds of 25%
wettable malathion power to
100 gallons of water.
