“…It is essential that effective international quarantine procedures be developed to detect new incursions of exotic cerambycid pests before they become established, or as soon as possible after they have become established to maximize the chances of eradication during the early stages of colonization. Current surveillance programs for cerambycids use traps baited with host plant volatiles (often ethanol and α-pinene) that attract conifer feeders, but are less effective to completely ineffective for detecting species that attack deciduous trees (e.g., see Brockerhoff et al 2006, Witzgall et al 2010, Miller et al 2011). …”

Blending Synthetic Pheromones of Cerambycid Beetles to Develop Trap Lures That Simultaneously Attract Multiple Species

et al. 2012

We evaluated attraction of cerambycid beetle species to blends of known cerambycid pheromones to determine whether such blends could be used as effective trap lures for detecting and monitoring multiple species simultaneously. Pheromone-baited traps captured 1,358 cerambycid beetles, of which 1,101 (81.1%) belonged to three species in the subfamily Cerambycinae: Neoclytus acuminatus (F.), Neoclytus mucronatus (F.), and Xylotrechus colonus (F.). Beetles of these species were significantly attracted to synthetic blends that contained their pheromone components (isomers of 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone and/or 2,3-hexanediol), despite the presence of pheromone components of different species, including other isomers of 2,3-hexanediol, (E/Z)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-yl acetate, and citral. In some cases attraction was partially inhibited by the pheromone components of heterospecific species, whereas for N. acuminatus, attraction was completely inhibited when blends contained (2R*,3S*)-hexanediol, the racemic mixture of diastereomers of its pheromone, (2S,3S)-hexanediol. Among the remaining beetles captured were three species in the subfamily Lamiinae: Astyleiopus variegatus (Haldeman), Graphisurus fasciatus (Degeer), and Lepturges angulatus (LeConte). All three lamiine species were previously known to be attracted to (E/Z)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-yl acetate, and were captured in significant numbers by blends containing that compound. Our results suggest that different types of cerambycid pheromones can be combined to create effective multi-species lures for use in surveillance programs that target exotic cerambycid species.iii Acknowledgments

“…Semiochemicals are used in traps to monitor changes in population levels allowing a better knowledge about the onset of adult emergence and the flight peak. Highly sensitive pheromone-based monitoring is crucial for detection of incipient infestations of introduced or exotic insects, such as the Mediterranean and Mexican fruit flies, 91) wood boring and bark beetles 92) or for detection of pests with constantly expanding ranges, such as the gypsy moth, 93) the pink bollworm 94) or oriental beetles.…”

Biorational insecticides in pest management

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We present herein a review article of the latest developments of the biorational approaches in pest management appeared in the literature from 1997 to date. The proposed advantages of the biopesticides including their specificity, safety to non-target organisms, particularly mammals, and utilization in low, sometimes minute, amounts have led to an intensive research program by public and private institutions resulting in an avalanche of reports in attempts to discover and develop newer and safer pesticides, particularly in the past three decades. This review is divided into three main chapters, including microbial insecticides in pest control, utilization of semiochemicals, and botanical insecticides, paying particular attention to those practical approaches that are respectful to the environment.

“…The final selection for field testing was based on two other studies that included eucalypt attractants. ( Brockerhoff et al, 2006;Barata et al, 2000). The lures were tested with four replicates of each in panel traps placed equally in a same age Eucalyptus plantation, half of which had been commercially thinned, following tree mortality caused by drought stress and subsequent wood-borer attack.…”
