Applications of a granular formulation of carbofuran to the soil beneath pecan trees at (16 and 32 kg actual insecticide per ha) to control adult pecan weevils as they emerged from the soil reduced pecan aphid populations and increased pecan leaf scorch mite populations. Pecan weevil damage was not decreased by the treatments and adults trapped from treated soil were similar to adults trapped from untreated pecans.soil with respect to fecundity and ability to damage pecans.
