Presence of insect pests was assessed at eight pecan, Carya illinoensis (Wang.) Koch, storage facilities in Oklahoma (six) and Texas (two). Two types of insect traps were used within each facility. Floor-situated STORGARD® Beetle Dome™ traps were baited with a combination of pheromone and oil to monitor beetle pests of stored products, and hanging Pherocon 1C™ moth sticky traps were used to monitor moths. Trap data were collected and traps replaced twice monthly for 1 year. For all sites combined, 11,653 insects of 19 species were collected. The most commonly trapped insect pests were lndianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), 61.2%, and lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), 12.3%. Results of this study will be distributed to pecan facility owners to facilitate stored-product pest management. |
