Ambrosia beetle not common, but merits attention

摘要

Not long after I started my career as the pecan IPM agent with Texas Agricultural Extension Service (as we were called back then), I had aproducer from East Texas complain about some insect that was attacking and killing his young pecan trees. At that time I was more concerned about pecan nut casebearer and pecan weevil and didn't pay as much attention to the problem as I should have.
