“…Management recommendations already exist for using insecticides to protect high-value trees in recreation sites or in ornamental settings from various species of Dendroctonus bark beetles (Smith et al 1977;Hall et al 1982;McCambridge 1982;Shea et al 1984;Shea and McGregor 1987;Haverty et al 1996Haverty et al , 1998Hastings et al 2001). Our results suggest that the proper use of insecticides also will help prevent attack from Ips spp.…”

“…Smith et al (1977) tested 2.0% carbaryl on bolts where they forced attacks by mountain and roundheaded (Dendroctonus adjunctus Blandford) pine beetles. After 3 mo, the treatment was 100% effective and after 13 mo it was 93% effective.…”

Insecticides that might protect pine trees from attack by engraver beetles (Ips spp.) have not been rigorously tested in the southwestern United States. We conducted two field experiments to evaluate the efficacy of several currently and potentially labeled preventative insecticides for protecting high-value ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa Dougl ex. Laws., from attack by engraver beetles. Preventative sprays (0.19% permethrin [Permethrin Plus C]; 0.03, 0.06, and 0.12% bifenthrin [Onyx]; and 1.0 and 2.0% carbaryl [Sevin SL] formulations) and systemic implants (0.875 g per capsule acephate [Acecap] and 0.650 g per capsule dinotefuran) were assessed on bolts (sections of logs) as a surrogate for live trees for a period of 13 mo posttreatment. The pine engraver, Ips pini (Say), was the most common bark beetle found attacking control and treated bolts, but sixspined ips, Ips calligraphus (Germar), and Ips lecontei Swain also were present. After approximately 13 mo posttreatment in one experiment, the spray treatments with 2.0% carbaryl, 0.19% permethrin, and 0.06 or 0.12% bifenthrin prevented Ips attack on the bolts at a protection level of > or = 70%. The acephate and dinotefuran systemic insecticides, and the 0.03% bifenthrin spray, provided inadequate (< or = 36%) protection in this experiment. For the other experiment, sprayed applications of 1.0% carbaryl, 0.19% permethrin, and 0.06% bifenthrin prevented beetle attack at protection levels of > or = 90, > or = 80, and > or = 70%, respectively, when bolts were exposed to Ips beetle attack for approximately 9-15 wk posttreatment. The sprays with 0.19% permethrin and 0.06% bifenthrin also provided > or = 90% protection when bolts were exposed for approximately 15-54 wk posttreatment. We concluded that under the conditions tested, 1.0 and 2.0% carbaryl, 0.19% permethrin, and 0.06 and 0.12% binfenthrin were acceptable preventative treatments for protecting ponderosa pine from successful engraver beetle attack for one entire flight season in the U.S. Southwest.

“…The experiments were carried out during a 5-year period (1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980) at the Forest Service's Institute of Forest Genetics, near Placerville, in northern California. Single-log and group-log bioassays were done for western and mountain pine beetle; only group-log testing was done for Jeffrey pine beetle.…”

“…The registrations of carbaryl and lindane are primarily the result of small-scale tests. 2,3,4 Subsequent field research demonstrated the effectiveness of several formulations of carbaryl for protecting individual trees from attack by western pine beetle. In an e x t e n s i v e , l a r g e -s c a l e f i e l d experiment, a 1 percent suspension of carbaryl in the Sevimol formulation appeared as effective as a 2 percent s u s p e n s i o n , t h e c o n c e n t r a t i o n currently registered for protecting trees.…”
