Extract

The pecan weevil, Curculio caryae (Horn), is a native American species that was first described by Horn (1873) from specimens bred from hickory nuts at Brooklyn, New York. It has been regarded as an obligatory feeder on nuts of the genus Carya (Gibson 1969; Harris 1983), and is especially troublesome in commercial hickory nut and pecan orchards.
