OSU Extension Pecan, Grape, and Fruit Specialist, Becky Carroll, is in the orchard to monitor the infamous insect plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar, in our peaches. In Oklahoma, this weevil is one of the most important insects attacking fruit. In particular, it is extremely detrimental where stone fruits (such as peaches, plums, and apricots) are interplanted with pome fruits (such as apples and pears).
