HELLO!
my name is
We have seen some very strong
activity this past week with the
Pecan Weevil, which is the culprit
that leaves holes on your pecans and
eats the inside kernels up before you
are trying to harvest them. The pecan
weevil is a key pest of pecan in the
United States and portions of Texas.
Pecan weevils, which also feed
on all species of North American
hickory, can be found from New
York to Iowa, south to Oklahoma,
and across the southeastern states
from Florida to west Texas.
Description
The adult is a brownish weevil
about 3/8 inch long. The female's
snout is as long as its body; the
male's snout is somewhat shorter.
The larvae are cream colored grubs
with reddish heads. When fully
grown, larvae reach a length of 3/5
inch.
Biology
Adult weevils, both males and
females, damage pecans by feeding
on and/or laying eggs in nuts. Even
though damage can occur from the
time of adult emergence to shuck
split, the key to weevil control is to
prevent egg lay or oviposition.
Pecan weevil activity starts in
early August. Adults emerge from
the soil where they have spent 2 or
3 years in soil cells located 4 to 12
inches beneath the soil surface. The
emergence of adult pecan weevil is
directly related to the type of soil and
soil moisture conditions. Drought
conditions and clay soils delay
emergence of adults by a month or
more.
Under normal soil conditions,
approximately 80 percent of adult
weevils emerge between August 20
and September 10. This emergence
pattern is typical across the pecan
belt. However, soils hardened by
drought delay adult emergence.
Drought-delayed emergence can
only be broken when the soil is
softened by moisture, either from
irrigation or rainfall.
Feeding activity of adult weevils,
both males and females, before nuts
enter the gel stage can cause nut drop.
After shell hardening, males only
feed on the shuck and this will not
cause nut drop. A close inspection
of damages pecans will reveal a
puncture the size of a straight pin
that can be traced through shuck and
shell to the liquid endosperm area of
the nut. Often this feeding puncture
or egg laying site will be surrounded
by a circle of tracks created by the
adult. The presence of punctures and
tracking confi rm weevil presence.
Integrated Pest Management
Practices
The objective in a pecan weevil
integrated pest management (IPM)
program is to prevent female weevils
from laying eggs in nuts. Because
the larvae, pupae and adults are
covered with 4 to 12 inches of soil
and pesticides cannot reach larvae
inside the nuts, management of these
life stages is not practical. The only
possible time to manage infestations
is after adults have emerged from
the soil and before egg laying
starts. To prevent weevils from
laying eggs, pecan producers must
do the following: monitor kernel
development to determine when
the earliest maturing cultivars reach
a stage susceptible to oviposition;
monitor adult emergence from
the soil; and apply an eff ective
insecticide at the proper time to
prevent emerging weevils from
laying eggs in susceptible nuts.
