County Agents Warn Hickory Shockworm Control Window
County Agents urge applying insecticide from August 1 to August 10 to combat the Hickory Shockworm in pecan trees. The pest burrows in pecan shucks, hindering maturation and reducing nut yield. Best control is Zolone or Guthion via commercial sprayers, though homeowners can spray malathion at 1 qt per 100 gallons or 1 tablespoon per gallon. The problem is most prevalent on Burkett pecans.

ASCS warns Ward and Winkler County pecan growers about shockworm damage to developing nuts and the need for precise timing of chemical treatments. Guidance includes checking nut maturity by cutting into kernels and applying two applications two weeks apart. Also notes certification efforts and fuel provisions for producers. Entertainer Danny Klayman comments on Yankees manager change with Billy Martin.
