Pecan Weevil Control Vital
Pecan trees in Franklin
County are loaded with pecans
but that does not mean that a
good crop will be harvested
The pecan weevil can greatly
reduce the pecan crop
Heaviest weevil damage is
caused in areas where pecan
weevils are a problem every
two or three years
The pecan weevil has a two or
three year life cycle The adults
emerge from the soil during
August and begin to feed on the
developing pecans Damaged
pecans in the water stage
will drop from the tree Female
pecan weevils begin to deposit
their eggs as the pecans tjftature
from the water to the gel stage
These pecans stay on the tree
The pecan weevil larva
develops within the pecan until
November The larva emerges
through an ‘h" hole, which it
cut from within the pecan
To obtain effective control
when damaging pecan weevil
infestations are present, car
baryl or Sevin must be applied
tx'fore the eggs are deposited
After the eggs are deposited,
effective control is no longer
possible, because the pecan
wet'vil can develop in the pecan
protected from chemical eon
trol measures

Often a second and third
insecticidal application is
needed with an interval of 10-14
days between applications
The key to controlling the
pecan weevil is to determine
the presence of the weevils and
to apply control measures at
the proper time Pecan clusters
should be inspected every 4 to 5
days starting in mid August to
determine if weevils are
present The first indication of
the presence of pecan weevils is
often their feeding damage
The damage resembles a pm
hole, which jx-netrates the
shuck and the shell Pecans on
the ground should lx* ins[x‘eh>d
for feeding damage When a
damaging infestation is found
the first insecticidal applica
lion should be made to coincide
with the gel stage of pecan
development
