Pales Weevil: A Serious Threat to Longleaf Pine Production
Pales weevil (Hylobius pales (Herbst)) has become a serious problem to longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) seedlings in North Carolina. The weevil may feed below ground on tap roots or above ground on the seedling bud. Longleaf pine seedlings planted on recently cut pine tracts should be checked for weevil damage at 2 to 4 weeks after planting. If damage from pales weevil is occurring, seedlings should be treated with the appropriate insecticide. Tree Planters' Notes 43(3):87-88: 1992.
