Abstract

Cultural practices, temperature, and precipitation affect the population fluctuations of Hylobius pales (Herbst) in the piedmont of Georgia. Of the environmental factors, temperature appears to have the most decided influence on the seasonal activity of the weevils. Precipitation may cause some variation but has no effect on general population trends. Cultural practices affect the numbers of weevils collected but not the seasonal trends. Although weevils are long lived and oviposition and larval development occur almost continuously, there are two population peaks during the year.
