Description
Summary:This study of Hypomolyx piceus (De G.) was initiated in 1951. The need for the study arose indirectly through the Laboratory of Forest Pathology, Canada Department of Agriculture at Saskatoon. Members of that laboratory, while investigating root diseases of white spruce in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, discovered root – wounding by the larvae of this insect. Since it was thought that there might be a relationship between this wounding and the incidence of disease, a co-operative study of the insect and root diseases of white spruce was undertaken.
