Appearance Reported On Dogwood Leaves
Advice On Leaf Scale Given
People in Hoke County have
been calling the County Agricul
tural Extension Service office re
cently reporting the appearance of
small, white growths on leaves of
their dogwood trees.
Extension Chairman Willie
Drawing shows general appearance
of cottony maple leaf scales on
infested leaves.
Featherstone said the growth is
cottony maple leaf scale and issued
the following information, in
cluding methods of controlling it.
Cottony maple leaf scales spend
the winter feeding on the twigs and
branches of dogwoods. Sometimes
this scale infests hollies and
maples, but dogwood is the prin
ciple host in North Carolina.
Infested trees and shrubs become
dark with sooty molds which grow
in the sweet sticky honeydew the
scales excrete. In spring, the scales
mature. Male scales emerge and
crawl or fly to female scales to
mate. Shortly after the new leaves
emerge, the females scales crawl
onto the lower surface to lay their
eggs. This usually happens in late
April and May. One thousand or
more eggs are laid by each female
in a dense, cottony mass of wax
called the ovisac. As each female
finishes laying, she dies.
In late May or early June the eggs
hatch, and the tiny new scales,
called crawlers, move about on the
lower leaf surface and then settle
down to feed. The crawlers suck
out sap and excrete honeydew, but
they are so small at first that they
do little noticeable damage. The
young scales molt twice as they
grow.
In the fall the young scales move
to the twigs where they feed during
the winter and early spring. There
is only one generation per year.
Control of cottony maple leaf
scales is not easy. The best time to
apply pesticides is in mid-June
when the tiny crawlers are exposed
on the leaves. Apparently, dormant
treatments are not effective. If
pesticides are applied to the
ovisacs, the waxy covering and
outer layers of eggs protect the
inner eggs from pesticides.
In addition there are several lady
beetles which feed on the eggs in
the ovisacs. One group, the
Hyperopia lady beetles are ap
parently adapted to feeding on
ovisacs because these lady beetle
larvae are covered with a woolly
secretion which closely resembles
the ovisac.
After the scale eggs hatch, the
lady beetles tend to leave the trees.
Consequently, waiting until June
enhances control and also saves the
lady beetles to feed on scale and
aphid pests of other plants.
On many dogwoods, a second
scale called a L?sanium scale
occurs with the cottony maple leaf
scale. Enclosed is a note which
describes this pest.

Hoke County Extension Chairman examining cottony maple leaf scales on a
dogwood at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Maxwell on North Fulton
Street.
Several insecticides are labeled
for scale control: diazinon. mala
thion. Sevin. summer oil, and
Trithion. If applied according to
label directions and with common
sense, these pesticides represent no
great hazard to human health.
After these pesticides dry. there
is little chance of significant con
tamination. One pesticide is spe
cifically labeled for cottony maple
scales: ethion oil. However, this
formulation is sometimes difficult
to find.
The most difficult part of con
trolling the cottony maple leaf scale
is forcing oneself to wait until mid

are conspicuous on the leaves now,
the scale is actually doing less harm
to the trees than at any other time.
