PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Rbst.) 
New York. N. Y. State Coll. - of Agr. News Letter (June): Damage was quite severe in 
fee Hudson River Valley during the early part of the the month. . .. 
New Jersey. T. J. Keadlee and R. C. Burdette (June 23): The plum cure-olio is very 
abundant. 
Delaware, L. A. Stearns (June 23): Emergence of first-brood adults is just 
commencing. There is considerable parasitization. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (June 5): At Port Valley the emergence of first-generation 
. adults from the soil started on May 27. This is 20 days earlier than the first 
emergence date last year, and IS days earlier than the first emergence date of 
1931. A second brood of larvae is assured. The peak of first-generation adult 
emergence occurred this year on June 1. (June 20): Although first-generation ■'- 
. adults have been emerging since May 27, there has not been any second-generation 
egg deposition to date. Emergence was heavy in the orchards during the week 
ending June 16, and we are expecting second-generation eggs before the Eileys 
are picked. A total of 39,535 larvae were reared from 8 bushels of drops 
collected near Port Valley. There are about 8,000 drops in each bushel. This 
record does not represent the average infestation in this locality this year, 
but more nearly the maximum infestation, as the drops came from an orchard in 
which no spray or dust had been applied or other curculio control measures 
enforced before the drops were picked ur>. Furthermore, the infested peaahes 
that fell during harvest last year were not removed from this orchard. (June 
.' 27): Second-generation egg deposition began today. 
W. H. Clarke (June 9): The first adults of the first trood emerged from the 
soil at Thomaston today. 
Ohio. P. 17. Mendenhall (June 2): At Columbus the plum curculio is very abundant 
on sour cherry fruit, causing considerable damage. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (June 19): The plum curculio is moderately abundant in 
isolated localities. 
Illinois. W-. P. Flint (June 19): Infestation is very light in all peach-growing 
sections. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (June 24): Larvae have been leaving the fruit during the last 
10 days. The infestation is less serious than usual. Stings on apples are 
abundant. Some larvae have just hatched. 
Tennessee. H. G. Butler (June 15): The first brood of the curculio began emerging 
at the insectary at Harriman June 13. This is 8 days earlier than emergence 
started in 1932 and 6 days earlier than any previous record during the last 4 
years.
