DAMAGE DONE BY PECAN I
INSECTS AND DISEASES!

Board of Entomology I ells of Results of Investigations i
of Pecan Pests.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—Ths im
portant information that there are va
rieties of the Pecan tree which are
least subject t 6 the attacks of cer
tain insects, and that there are those
which are peculiarly resistant to de
structive Pecan scab, has been devel
oped by the Georgia Board of Ento.
mology, and will shortly be incorpo
rated in a new bulletin. In this bul
letin will appear much new and inter
esting information.
Os the forty or more insects that
attack the Pecan, several new ones
have made their appearance in Geor
gia since the last bulletin was is
sued. These are described and, in
sofar as is possible, the methods of
control are given. There are only two
bad diseases which attack Pecans in
Georgia, the worst of which is Pecan
scab; the other is Pecan rosette.
Perhaps the most interesting and
important information conveyed m
this bulletin is the fact tnat certain
varieties are less liable to infestation
by the Pecan case-bearer, one of the
most destructive of all insects. The
varieties upon which the fewest of
these insects were found are Money
maker, Karsen, Georgia, Curtis, Rus
sell, Mantura, Hican (none), Tesche
and Young. The worst infested were
the Capitol, VanDeman, Schley, Stu
art, Nelson, Frotscher, Taylor, Alley,
Appomattox and Delmas. Intermedi
ate between the two were the Mo
bile, Creole, Success, President, Pabst, ;
Teddy, Baccn and Hadley.
Trees That Resist Scab.
Most suspectible to Pecan scab
were found the Georgia, San Saba,
Capitol, Delmas and many seedlings.
Only slightly infested were the Van
Leman, Schley, Alley, Halkert and
Mobile. The varieties declared safest
to plant from standpoint of immunity
from scab, are Moneymaker, Russell,
Stuart, Schley and Alley, the infec
tion noted in the two latter being very
slight.
Pecan scab, the most serious fun
gus disease attacking Pecans, is indi
cated by small black pustules on the
leaves and nuts It is best controlled
by a thorough and careful spraying
with Bordeaux mixture in the propor
tion, 3 pounds copper sulphate, 3
pounds lime to fifty gallons of water.
The mixture should be carefully made
as described in the bulletin.
Pecan rosette causes the twigs to
lie back in the fall. Little is known
ibout it. Some growers remove the
.ffected twigs. Entomologist E. Lee
Vorsham is of the opinion that it is
>est to remove and burn the tree.

Apple Growers Urged To
Spray Trees Thoroughly
Atlanta, Ga.—A call to arms has
jeeu issued by the State Department
Entomology to all apple growers of
Georgia. They are urged immediately
;.o arm themselves with hand sprays,
barrel pumps, and heavy artillery gas
oline pumps where necessary, for a
general slaughter of the enemy.
The orchard pests are afield, as
usual, in full force, led by that battle
scarred old veteran, General Apple
Worm, and the more of them you kill
the better off you will be when the
time conies to gather the crops.
The principal enemies against which
apple growers have to fight in Geor
gia are the coddling moth or common
apple worm, apple scab, apple leaf
spot, and bitter rot.
Apple growing is becoming a great
industry in Georgia, but spraying
against these pests is absolutely nec
essary, for the man who wants to
make a success either with one tree
ir with thousands of them. Spraying
is as essential to fruit growing as
plowing is to farming.
The most destructive insect pest
found on apple trees in Georgia is the
coddling moth. It need not be de
scribed, for it is known to every apple
grower simply as the “ai pie worm.’’
This insect is best controlled by
spraying with a solution of arsenate
of lead, in the proportion of two
pounds to fifty gallons of water, to
which is added a milk of lime solu
tion made from three pounds of stone
lime. The first application is most
important and should be made within
a few days after the shedding of the
bloom in order that the calyx -cups
may be filled with the poison. The
second spraying should follow a work
or ten days later than the first. Weak
trees should not be sprayed more than
twice, byt. when they are strong and
healthy three sprayings may be ap
plied to advantage.
The best results can be obtained
with the apple only by using a nozzle
throwing a heavy, coarse spray under
high pressure of 200 to 300 pounds.
This arsenate of lead treatment has
an additional advantage in that it is
also a protection against the plum
curculio, best known in Georgia as
“the peach worm,” but which attacks
apples as well.
Taking up the fungus diseases of the
apple, State Entomologist Lee Wor
sham recommends a lime and sulphur
solution as the best treatment against

die Pecan, perhaps the Pecan case- i
bearer is the most serious, particu- :
uuly in the south Georgia Pecan belt. ;
| it is a gray moth, as an adult, about :
I an inch acioss with wings spread. \
The worm lives in a case and sticks \
its head out to feed on the leaves \
and twigs. The best method of con- i
trol is to spray with arsenate of lead i
in August or the first week of Sep- j
tember. In this way it is readily i
I held in check. , i
The Pecan shucksworm, a common
। insect attacking the shuck, preventing
I maturing of the nut and staining it, ie
1 controlled by gathering and burning
| the shucks.
। The Pecan cigar case-bearer, like
I the regular case-bearer but smaller, is
i scarce in Georgia. The control is
■ arsenate of lead spray in March when
| the buds are swelling.
The Pecan nut case-bearer is new
i in Georgia, having been first observed
|in 1815. The insect develops within
; the nut. Unless checked this insect
i may soon do serious damage. Methods
! cf control are now being worked out.
The twig girdlers cut off Pecan
■ branches. Infested limbs should be
■ gathered and burned. Keeping dead
limbs and all dead wood out of the
orchard, checks many insects.
Borers Must Be Dug Out.’
The fiatheaded borers, flat, hard,
! shiny beetles about half an inch long,
' bore into the bark and feed between
I the bark and wood. The best method
‘ is to follow the cracks in the Lark
i dig them out and kill them. Shothole
and pinhole borers are other types of
; beetles which similarly attack the
i tree. They are controlled by burning
I dead wood and, where very serious,
by whitewashing the trunk of the
; tree.
The pecan nut curculio, similar to
| the plum insect, is a weevil which
! bores into the nut, making the ordi*
I nary wormhole sometimes se.en. The
method of control is not yet worked
out, but shallow plowing when the
insect is in the ground gets many of
them. The Pecan borer, li’fe the
Peachtree borer, must be removed
with the knife.
The fall webworm and similar in
sects, should be burned with the kero
sene torch or scraped off and stepped
on. The Pecan looper, a large moth
that eate the leaves, is controlled by
arsenate of lead spray. The sami
remedy is applied for the budworm,
two species of which attack and de
stroy the buds. Leaf hoppers, small.,
green insects which suck the leaves
■’nd cause them to curl, are controlled
by spray of whaleoil soap.
The new bulletin, as soon as pub
lished, will be f”mished io anyone
interested, on application.
apple scab and apple leaf spot. These
destructive diseases seriously affect
. both trees and fruit, blit can be effect- i
ively controlled if directions are fol- I
lowed. The first spraying should be
made with a carefully prepared lime ,
and sulphur solution (not the home i
kind) at a strength of two gallons to ;
fifty gallons of water, just before the ’
cluster buds open. The second spray
ing should take place two or three
weeks later, with the same solution ■
at a strength of one and one-half gal- '
lons to fitly of water, and the third 1
spraying with this same weaker solu- ;
tion three weeks later still. The best <
results can be obtained only by mak- !
ing sure to apply the first spraying ‘
just before the cluster buds open.
Two birds can be killed with one ;
stone by adding two pounds of arse- '
nate of lead for the last (
two sprayings for scab and <
leaf spot, as the spray will i
then also control the coddling moth.
Fertilization and clean cultivation ;
will always render trees mote resist- (
. ant to fungus diseases.
Bitter rot is another serious dis
ease of the apple, and is more difficult
to control than leaf spot and scab. It
is also of a fungus nature, and causes
the apples to rot before maturity
■usually beginning in July. It can be
remedied by the same lime and sul
phur solution applied as before de- (
scribed, but for the most effective
control of it Bordeaux mixture should
be used late in the season, from July 1
1 on. The Bordeaux mixture is made
as follows:
Dissolve three or four pounds of
copper sulphate (bluestone) in a wood
en vessel containing twenty-five gal
lons of water. The bluestone should
be placed in a bag and suspended in
the water so it. is just submerged. In
another vessel, slack four pounds of
lime by adding a little water at a
time. Then strain the lime and dilute
with twenty-five gallons of water.
Then pour the two mixtures together,
letting them mix as they fall into the
receiving vessel. A small hand spray
may be used if there are only a few
trees, but where there is much spray
ing a barrel pump holding fifty gal
lons is better.
The State Department of Entomol
ogy will be glad to furnish further
full detailed information about the
care and protection of apple orchards
on request. (
