Elm and Fruit Trees Face Spring Canker Worm Invasion
Prof H B Hungerford of the University of Kansas warns Lawrence elm and fruit trees will endure a major spring canker worm attack this year. He notes low past spraying, the misnamed web worm is a geo metridae that doubles up as it moves and eggs hatch to feed on leaves. Protective sticky bands help, but timing matters as migrating females can bypass if bands are overwhelmed. Continuous spraying with arsenate of lead or DDT is advised when caterpillars begin leaf feeding, with the life cycle repeating each year.
