Harris, Chung Soo Chung, John A. Jackman] Pecan, Carya illinoensis (Wang.) K. Koch, is a masting species that predominantly produces nut crops at 3- to 4-yr intervals. The pecan nut casebearer, Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig, removes nutlets in May in years of low production, thereby reducing the equilibrium level of the late season obligatory nut feeding pecan weevil, Curculio caryae (Horn). The pecan generally produces more viable nuts at dehiscence in mast years when pecan nut casebearer occurs with pecan weevil compared with when pecan weevil occurs alone. The pecan nut casebearer enhances masting by substantially reducing nuts in nonmast (low production) years without having much effect in mast (high production) years. This interaction benefits both the pecan and the pecan nut casebearer to the detriment of the pecan weevil. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Population Ecology nationallicence Acrobasis nationallicence Curculio nationallicence pecan masting nationallicence interference competition nationallicence insect-plant interaction nationallicence Harris Marvin K.
