“…More importantly, concerning effective pest monitoring, pheromone trapping has been widely used for monitoring and timing insecticide applications for large areas of plantations and orchards. This approach is typically considered the most successful at minimizing damage from many cossid pest species (e.g., Barros‐Parada et al., 2021; Crous et al., 2020; Hegazi et al., 2009). Therefore, further studies on sex pheromone identification and synthesis and optimal mass trapping of this species are recommended to support monitoring incorporating knowledge on the bionomy and ecological requirements of the species for cost‐effective pest management.…”

The teak bee‐hole borer (Xyleutes ceramica (Walker, 1865)) is widespread in northern Thailand and is considered the most serious pest of teak (Tectona grandis) in the country. The present study investigated the factors affecting the infestation of teak trees by this species in three plantations in northern Thailand at different spatial scales, including the tree, plot and stand levels. At each plantation, 48 plots evenly distributed in three different young stands (1–10 years), three medium‐aged stands (11–20 years) and six old stands (exceeding 20 years) were sampled. At the plots, the number of current entrance holes of X. ceramica per teak tree was counted, and the characteristics of the trees and stands were assessed. A total of 1952 teak trees were sampled, 22.7% of which were infested by X. ceramica. According to our results, infestation was much more strongly affected by stand characteristics than by the characteristics of individual trees. Above all, understorey cover exhibited substantial effect with the infestation level being strongly limited in stands with dense understories. Additionally, young and medium‐aged stands on better quality sites were found to be the most susceptible to infestation, and well‐growing and/or damaged trees were preferred by the pest species. In conclusion, major recommendations for suppressing damage caused by X. ceramica include (a) promoting and maintaining the understorey above 30% cover, (b) planting mixed stands of commercial forest trees and (c) intensively monitoring the pest in young and medium‐aged stands, especially those growing at good‐ and medium‐quality sites.

“…Mass trapping has also been tested for the cossids Zeuzera pyrina (Linnaeus, 1761) and C. cossus [ 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Another case in the use of sex pheromones is for the cossid Coryphodema tristis (Drury, 1782) on Eucalyptus nitens (H. Deane and Maiden) Maiden in South Africa, where the large-scale mass trapping suppressed this pest [ 61 ]. Notably, the use of sticky UV-light traps in combination with sex pheromone traps successfully attracted Z. pyrina adults [ 58 ], where the light is attractive for both males and females.…”

Grape cultivation is a billion-dollar agricultural sector in California, where invasive or novel pest species can disrupt management practices. We report herein on a new pest associated with California vineyards, the carpentermoth Givira ethela (Neumoegen and Dyar, 1893). Rather than an invasive species, G. ethela appears to be a newly recognized wood-boring pest of Vitis vinifera (L.) in regions of California’s Central Valley, where its initial occurrence has been dated back to, at least, the beginning of the 2000s. The habitus of adult, genitalia and pupa is illustrated. Givira ethela distribution in California is updated including published records and new data. Carpentermoth galleries seem to facilitate the access of Planococcus ficus Signoret, 1875 to vine sap and protection from natural enemies, environmental stresses, and pesticide treatments. Notes on pest status, life history, monitoring practices, natural enemies, and management options on grapes are also discussed. Tools for the Integrated Pest Management of G. ethela should include the correct identification of the insect and its damage, a full understanding of its biology and ecology, the application of monitoring methods, and the identification of economic thresholds and injury levels.

“…Semiochemicals are chemical signals and cues that influence the behavior of insects and can be integral components of forest plantation pest management programs. They are used as indirect management tools (e.g., survey and detection) to inform management decisions (e.g., the need for and timing of insecticide applications) and as direct management tools (e.g., mass trapping, mating disruption, lure-and-kill/infect) (Nadel et al 2012, Noeth et al 2020). The high level of specificity of how semiochemicals influence behavior necessitates precision in studying individual pest species (Scheepers et al 2020).…”

There are numerous new and emerging technologies that allow for greater precision in forest pest management, from sequencing and chemical analyses, to data collection through smart technologies, and integration, analysis and sharing of data across fields. These technologies allow for the development of much more precise tools for pest management than has ever before been possible; an approach that we define as Precision Pest Management (PPM). They also allow for more rapid development of IPM tools, as well as the ability for early recognition and response to changes in pest population densities and distributions. We argue that there is an increasing need for a PPM approach and that we harness the opportunities these technologies offer to deal with the scale and complexity of pest management in the future.
