BB—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 28,1983 Many plant pests now active FLEMINGTON, N.J. - There are several currently active plant pests to be on the look, out for in Hunterdon County. Gypsy moth caterpillars are on schedule. They are a major pest of oak trees but feed on a variety of other plants including apple, hawthorne, willow, cherry, maple, and larch. Eastern tent caterpillars are also active now. Their favorite foods are cherry, apple and crabapple. Sawfly larvae are at work on pines, especially, Scots, and mugho pines. These “cater pillars,” greenish with dark heads, can seriously defoliate evergreens. Last year, birch leaf miner populations were high throughout the state. These larvae, which can cause such severe damage to birch foliage that trees appear com pletely brown, should be controlled now. Douglas firs may be infested with woolly aphid, tiny white “fluffy” looking insects which feed by sucking sap from needles causing them to become yellow and distorted. Lace bugs are common pests on Rhododendron species and on Japanese andromeda. The damage appears as yellow brownish “fading” of foliage which, on close examination, turns out to be finely stipled discoloration of the leaves. The undersides of the leaves show ELECTRIC FENCERS We have a limited supply of new, discontinued model fencers at a VERY SPECIAL PRICE. All have a one year warranty, with parts and service available.

Holly leafminers are about to emerge from leaves to begin laying eggs. If old holly leaves show evidence of this pest (ser pentine lines in the leaf) it’s time to prevent damage to the new growth. Spider mites are active now on Norway and blue spruce varieties. “Fading” of needles may indicate a heavy mite infestation and very close examination of the foliage may reveal these minute spider like insects at work.
