Abstract The granulate ambrosia beetle, Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky), and the black stem borer, germanus (Blandford) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), are important pests of ornamental, fruit nut trees in eastern USA.

Abstract Xylosandrus crassiusculus Motschulsky and germanus Blandford are serious ambrosia beetle pests in ornamental nurseries. Three ethanol baits, AgBio low release (LR), high (HR), Trécé commercially available for use bottle traps to determine flight activity of adult spp. However, patterns from these baits under varying temperatures captures poorly understood. Thus, the objectives this study were (i) rates constant variable (ii) compare relative using When 3-d difference (3-d difference) bait weights recorded 15.6, 21.1, 26.7, 32.2 °C, an increase was with temperature 15.6 °C LR bait. At no or reduction 3-d-difference found HR respectively, compared The steady all 3 when gradually increased decreased sequence 30 d. In 2022, 2023, 2024, although captured X. germanus, significantly more numbers than other 2 2022 greater baits. can effectively detect early adults

Ornamental nurseries adjacent to hardwood-dominated woodlots pose more risk from exotic ambrosia beetles (Xylosandrus spp.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) than pine-dominated woodlots DOI

Exotic granulate ambrosia beetle, Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky), black stem borer, germanus (Blandford), and twig compactus (Eichhoff) are serious pests of woody ornamental trees in nurseries. Woodlots often surround nurseries, where the beetles fly into nurseries attack young trees. The woodlots either dominated by hardwood trees, such as Oaks (Oak spp.), maples (Acer or pine mainly loblolly (Pinus taeda L.). It is unclear if woodlot type would influence abundance beetle flying outside woodlot. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether pine-dominated stand affects relative In 2023 2024, experiments were conducted deploying 3 ethanol-lured plastic bottle traps 4 mid-Georgia (USA). overall captures X. significantly greater than both years. numbers collected not consistently different between for most sampling dates. influenced type. This suggests that although from years, risk infestation adjacent woodlots.

Abstract In 2007 to 2008, I assessed the effects of ethanol release rate (dose) on trap catches bark and woodboring beetles, associated species predators, in 6 experiments north-central Georgia. Multiple-funnel traps were baited with alone or co-baited α-pinene (with without beetle pheromones ipsenol ipsdienol). The following ambrosia beetles exhibited a positive dose-dependent response ethanol, regardless co-baits: Corthylus columbianus Hopkins, Dryoxylon onoharaense (Murayama), Hylastes porculus Erichson, salebrosus Eichhoff, Hylobius pales (Herbst), Monarthrum fasciatum (Say), Orthotomicus caelatus (Eichhoff), Xyleborinus saxesenii (Ratzeburg), Xyleborus species, Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). tenuis Eichhoff Curculionidae) but not when α-pinene, pheromones. A consistent negative was by Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff) whereas results avulsus Dendroctonus terebrans (Olivier) variable.
