“…Because of its plentiful, this species can become an important pest in decreasing the quality of newly harvested wooden. In Thailand, this species can be found in rubberwood (Kangkamanee et al 2011). This species is also found in stressed mango trees (Sittichaya 2012).…”

Abstract. Haneda NF, Furqan M, Suheri M. 2020. Stem borer insects on Hopea odorata in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5308-5316. Hopea odorata Roxb. locally known as “merawan”, is a dipterocarp species that has the potentials to be developed for plantation forestry. Nonetheless, anecdotal evidence in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia, suggested that the trees suffered serious attacks caused by stem borer insects, causing defoliation of the crown and leading to stunted growth and death. This phenomenon suggests a more systematic investigation. The objectives of this research were: (i) to identify the species of stem borer which attacked H. odorata; (ii) to investigate the types and forms of the damage of H. odorata tree due to stem borer attack; and (iii) to study the effects of stem borer attack on the tree and wood of H. odorata. The results showed that all species of stem borer insects belong to Coleoptera, namely as Xyleborus perforans (Scolytidae), Xyleborinus perexiguus (Scolytidae), Platypus parallelus (Platypodidae), Belionota prasina (Buprestidae), Curculionid beetle, and Tenebrionid beetle. The number of boring holes on a single tree was 1932 holes, of which 98.6% caused by ambrosia beetles: Xyleborus perforans (1426 holes, 73.8%), Xyleborinus perexiguus (457 holes, 23.7%), and Platypus parallelus (21 holes, 1.1%). The length of boring tunnel at cross-section ranged between 2-35 cm and at longitudinal section ranged between 4-6 cm. The number of boring holes decreased along with the increasing height of tree stem. The patterns of boring tunnel at stem cross-section were branching (X. perforans, P. parallelus); encircled (X. perforans), black stains along their wall (X. perexiguus, X. perforans, P. parallelus).

“…Purposive sampling was used to collect the dry wood with inactive exit holes, active or freshly bored holes by the wood-boring beetles and those showing damage symptoms [sawdust coming out]. The wood was transversely cut into pieces measuring 15cm long by 10 cm diameter or equivalent volume as described by Sittichaya and Beaver, Kangkamanee [ 35 – 36 ] and placed in clear 20 L plastic containers. The samples were taken to laboratories at KU where they were kept at ambient room temperatures of 23±2°C, 60±10% RH, with a 12 L: 12 D photoperiod.…”

Wood-boring beetles associated with Acacia xanthophloea in Nairobi and Machakos Counties, Kenya

et al. 2018

Naivasha thorn tree, Acacia xanthophloea, is grown for foliage, timber, shade and rehabilitation of soils in areas with high water tables in Kenya. Its production is threatened by insect pests, which cause major losses. Very little is documented on wood-boring beetles which cause considerable economic damage to lumber used in a variety of applications, and little is known about their natural enemies in Kenya. We conducted the study to evaluate the occurrence of wood-boring beetles on A. xanthophloea in two different regions of Kenya. Infested wood samples of A. xanthophloea with fresh exit holes were collected from three sites in Kenyatta University (KU), Nairobi and Mitaboni in Machakos, Kenya. The samples were placed in clear plastic buckets and kept at ambient temperatures 23±2°C, 65±10% relative humidity and 12L: 12D in a laboratory where they were observed daily for adult emergence. Adult beetles were collected every three days for identification and data recording. The experiment was replicated four times and data collected twice a week for 6 months. Data on abundance was subjected to analysis of variance using SAS software. A total of 5,850 and 4,691 beetles were collected where 2,187 and 3,097 were Bostrichidae, accounting for 37% and 66% in KU and Mitaboni, respectively. A total of 12 bostrichid species was identified, including Sinoxylon ruficorne, S. doliolum, Xylion adustus, Xyloperthodes nitidipennis, Xyloperthella picea, Xylopsocus castanoptera, Lyctus brunneus, Heterbostrychus brunneus, Xylopsocus sp., and Dinoderus gabonicus. The most abundant species in KU was Xylion adustus with 1,915 beetles accounting for 88.4%, and Sinoxylon ruficorne in Mitaboni with 1,050 beetles accounting for 33.9% of the total. Sinoxylon ruficorne was only recorded in Mitaboni while only 2 specimens of D. gabonicus were found in KU. The mean number of exit holes on A. xanthophloea differed significantly between sites, which corresponded approximately to the amount of economic damage caused by the beetles to the structural integrity of the lumber. In addition, a number of predators in the family Cerambycidae, Cleridae, Histeridae and parasitoids from Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, and Chalcididae were recovered, suggesting a need to conduct further studies to document these species' diversity, parasitism rates and efficacy for possible biological control.

“…Among the species Xyleborinus bicornatulus and Xyleborus affinis linked to this plantation is also reported in the rubber plantations in Brazil (Pereira et al, 2015). Likewise, Xyleborus affinis is reported attacking rubber lumber in Thailand (Sittichaya andBeaver, 2009, Kangkamanee et al, 2011). X. affinis and X. ferrugineus are considered as economic important species because they can cause large infestations in tropical wood with similar characteristics, however, in the studied plantations the population of X. ferrugineus was low.…”

El objetivo del trabajo se enfocó en identificar bacterias fluorescentes productoras de metabolitos secundarios antagónicos y analizar su biodiversidad al gen ARNr 16S. Las bacterias se aislaron de cultivares nativos de Musa de las provincias: Los Ríos, Cotopaxi y Bolívar. El escrutinio de las cepas antagónicas se basó en la actividad proteolítica y la amplificación de genes antifúngicos. Además, se realizó el análisis filogenético al ARN ribosomal 16S por análisis de restricción ARDRA y secuenciación. Desde rizósfera de siete cultivares nativos de Musa se rescató y seleccionó 16 cepas nativas con emisión fluorescente, observando la actividad proteasa (PR) para las cepas (PB3-6, BO3-4, BA4-19, PM3-8 y PM3-14). Verificando por PCR la presencia del gen hcnABC (HCN) de 570 pb en las cepas (PB3-6, BO3-4, PM3-8 y PM3-14) y pirrolnitrina (Prn) de 786 pb en las cepas (BMR2-2, BMR2-4, BMR2-12, BO3-4 y PM3-14). Los perfiles genéticos por ARDRA agruparon las cepas nativas de Musa productoras a PR, Prn y HCN (BMR2-2, BMR2-12, PB3-6, BO3-4, BA4-19, PM3-8 y PM3-14). La caracterización molecular por secuenciación del gen ARNr 16S, se verificaron los géneros: Serratia, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Enterobacter y Klebsiella. Considerando siete cepas de bacterias candidatas de actividad antagónica que servirán para la continuidad de la investigación al efecto positivo en incremento de biomasa en plantaciones de banano y efecto bio-controlador a Mycosphaerella fijiensis.
