Spray For
Pecan Nut
Casebearers
MERIDIAN — Bosque County
Agent David Winkler has reported
finding pecan nut case bearer eggs,
and has placed the optimum time to
spray in the area as being between
May 25 to May 29.
Eggs are elliptical in shape, finely
reticulated, and just large enough to
be seen without a hand lens. When
eggs are first laid they are bluish-
white. but within a few hours, small
read spots appear which give the egg
a pinkish to reddish color. After lar-
val hatch, the egg shell remains and
will be a snowy white color.
Eggs are generally deposited sin
gly oit the tip of the pistil or under
tire calyx lobes by females of the first
spring brood. Adults of later genera-
tions will deposit eggs in grooves at
the tips and base of nutlets. Approxi-
mately 4-5 days are required for eggs
to hatch, but can be longer depend-
ing on the weather.
After hatch, the larvae is whitish
to pink in color, later becoming olive
gray. Just prior to pupation the color
changes to a jade green.
Homeowner and commercial spray
guides are available in the County
Extension Office in Meridian, or call
435-2331.
