Variable Susceptibility to Diorcyctria amatella (Hulst) (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) Among Pines in Clonal Seed Orchards

Concern over seed losses due to cone insect damage in pine seed orchards is increasing annually. The coneworm, Dioryctria amatella (Hulst) (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae), is one of the primary pests of pine cones in the southeastern United States. A recent study by Sartor and Neel (1971) has shown that the coneworm does cause significant losses in seed yields in 2 Mississippi pine seed orchards.
