Abstract

The literature on the bionomics of the pecan weevil indicates significant intra-regional variability in the occurrence of adult emergence from the soil, onset of oviposition and larval emergence from the pecan. Rainfall, soil moisture and soil penetration resistance were associated with the emergence patterns of adult weevils. Fruit maturity state dictated the onset of successful oviposition. Larval emergence in an unharvested plot occurred during the state-wide pecan harvest period in Georgia in 1979.
