Abstract

Tip moths1 cause conspicuous damage to loblolly pine reproduction in eastern Maryland, especially on old-field sites. As the number of old-field plantations and the value of forest crops have increased, landowners and managers have become interested in the possibility of controlling this damage and perhaps improving the form and growth of their planted trees.
