Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is stressed by a number of pests--some of them significant to the lifespan and utilization of the pine. Recent papers on longleaf pine pests are given in this publication. This list is not a comprehensive listing of all relevant information, but a carefully selected set of papers and publications that present the many diverse aspects of current thinking on longleaf pests and their management. The combined literature citations within each of these listed papers would represent a recent compilation of pest management information for longleaf pine.
