Scale Attacks Unsprayed Pecan Trees
Scale is a problem of neglected trees that have not been sprayed in several years with an early season insecticide. This condition is possible in trees that have not developed other pest problems early in the season and, hence, insecticides have not been used when the scale insects are in the crawler stage and subject to control.
