Foliage Pests of Pecan Will Hudson Extension Entomologist

Objective : Protecting Pecan Foliage Budbreak to Harvest is 8 months Pecan foliage has to be conserved and protected from insects and diseases to produce photosynthate for next season’s crop and to reduce the amplitude of alternate bearing cycle

Foliage Pests Aphids –Yellow Pecan Aphid –Black-margined Pecan Aphid –Black Pecan Aphid MitesPhylloxeransCaterpillars

Aphids Short life cycle and high reproductive potential result in explosive population growth in favorable conditions Lots of natural enemies, so biological control can be effective Scouting is critical Both systemic and contact insecticides are used

Aphid Abundance by Date in Untreated Trees

Predicting Aphid Outbreaks Population Growth - Days to Double aphid June June 28 C 28 C July July 27 C 27 CAugust 28 C 28 C Sept. Sept. 27 C Oct. Oct. 23 C BMA YPA BPA Kaakeh and Dutcher Environ. Entomol. 21:

Scouting for Aphids Orchards should be scouted weekly Examine a “random” sample of terminals from trees throughout the orchard Know how to identify the aphids Recognize beneficials Know your trees and orchard history Keep up!

Yellow Pecan Aphid May be found any time during the season Winged adults are not always present Populations usually peak in late summer “Threshold” is 20 per compound leaf

Black Pecan Aphid Populations usually peak in late season Some varieties are very susceptible to damage Feeding causes chlorosis and leaflets drop prematurely Threshold is 15% 0f terminals with >1

Pecan Aphid Chemical Control Soil Treatment – Season-long chemical control is effective with application of systemic insecticide – Temik or Admire Foliage Treatment - Reliance on beneficial insects for control through early August and foliage application of Dimethoate, Fulfill, Centric, Provado + Lorsban, etc. from then until October

Insecticide Application Methods

To Treat or Not To Treat What aphid? What else is there? –Beneficials –Other pests Weather conditions Cultivar Time of the season

Pecan Leaf Scorch Mite Feeding causes “scorching” effect on leaves Mites are usually found on underside of leaflet Infestations often start low in the center of the tree Symptoms look like some diseases Dicofol, Vendex, Temik provide control

Caterpillars Most foliage feeders are minor in importance Usually infest only a few trees Many insecticidal options are labeled Sprays for other insects usually get these also

Walnut Caterpillar

Fall Webworm

Phylloxera Two types – stem and leaf “Sucking bugs”, related to aphids One generation per year Once the galls form, control is difficult Treat at bud-break, or go systemic

Leaf Phylloxera

Stem Phylloxera
