Aim of Study Determining of abundance of 4 main hazelnut pests in
hazelnut growing area of Georgia (making distribution maps)
Selected pests: Fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea) Nut weevil (Curculio nucum), Big bud mites (Phytocoptella avellana) Long horn beetle (Obera linearis)

FALL WEBWORM: IDENTIFICATIONFALL WEBWORM: IDENTIFICATIONAdult : Adult moths have a wingspan of between 30–40 mm. Forewings of male are white or have black spots arranged in a number of rows; usually black spotted in spring and pale white during summer.
Male from overwintered pupae Summer male
Sexing Fall webworm
Left: Male ; Right: Female
For sexing: Use antenna, male: pectinate (comb-like ) ; female: filiform (like thread) type
Eggs: The egg mass of Hyphantria cunea is almost green in color. Eggs are laid as cluster. The egg batch contains 400-2500 eggs depending on food plants. The eggs are usually deposited on the undersides of leaves. The egg mass is lightly covered with scales from the female’s abdomen.

Conclusions Fall webworm population level was higher in Guria-
Imereti and Gali than Ajara and Samegrelo in hazelnut orchards.
On the trees at roadsides, Ajara (Batumi) and Guria-Imereti (Ozurgeti) high populations.
Hazelnut weevil damage was highest in Guria-Imereti and Gali. Damage ratio were 8.80 and 9.32%.
Big bud mites damage were highest in Guria-Imereti (nearly 4 damaged buds/ocak) but damaged buds were less than 1 damaged bud/ ocak in other 3 regions.
Long horn beetle damage was highest in Gali region (nearly 2 damaged shoots/ocak) and damaged shoots were lowest in Ajara.
Nine other hazelnut pests were observed in Georgian hazelnut orchards, in addition to one virus disease.
