Monday, April 17, 2000 in Bur- singly or in clusters. The pest
overwinters in the rough bark of
the tree and at bud break the
crawlers emerge and migrate to
the new growth. Once these crawl-
ers begin to feed, they do not
relocate. As the phylloxera feed
there is a reaction of the tree to
the feeding that causes tissue to
grow around them. This initiates
the gall formation. If an insecti-
cide is needed, it must be applied
before the crawler is embedded in
the tissue. If infestations have
risen to a level where there is
economic loss, an insecticide will
be required to reduce the infesta-
tion. Although phylloxera emer-
gence can extend over a month, a
treatment should likely be ap-
plied when the new growth is
approximately 2 inches. Produc-
ers and homeowners should con-
suit product labels carefully be-
fore using any pesticide.
Lawns: As lawns begin spring
'green-up' many of us turn our
attention to care and manage-
ment of the turf grass. Often,
homeowners 'scalp' their lawns
at the beginning of the new sea-
son and while this practice does
have merit at the beginning of
the new season, we should con-
sider optimum mowing practices
for the remainder of the season if
