Pecan Tree Banding For Spraying Timing
Pecan tree banding helps time spraying to control the casebearer larvae. Banding around limb above rough bark in late March traps pupae, which can be collected in late April for observation by inspecting the banded limbs.
Pupae to Adults and Orchard Spraying Timetable
Pupae found under burlap should be kept in a glass jar with a punched lid for air. Last year at Anderle orchard pupae emerged May 13 after collection by the county agent. Spraying should occur about five days after the first moths hatch, with demonstrations in May showing good control. contacts include Mr. M. B. Pugh in Rockdale and the county agent in Cameron.
