Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in the tribe Xyleborini are economically important pests of woody ornamentals, tree nuts, and fruit orchards, including pecans United States. Among them, granulate ambrosia beetle, Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky), is most common species pecan orchards Georgia. Various traps, ethanol-mediated Lindgren multi-funnel panel bottle sticky cards, ethanol-infused wooden bolts, used beetle monitoring programs. Trap color placement height factors that increase trap effectiveness. To improve effectiveness for beetles, we conducted a preference experiment under field conditions using six different colored black, blue, green, red, transparent, yellow, placing them at three heights (15, 60, 120 cm from ground level). The results show red transparent cards consistently captured higher number whereas yellow-colored lower compared to all other tested colors cards. A similar trend was observed with X. laboratory settings. evaluated heights, more crassiusculus, were placed 60 surface. Additionally, monitored natural infestations commercial Georgia found damage trees near surface (45 cm) upper parts. We also recorded species, black stem borer, germanus (Blandford), Southeast Asian amputatus (Blandford). (90.50%) abundant orchards. Therefore, 45 could efficacy can be

Early detection of non-native, potentially invasive bark beetles and woodboring (BBWB) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Disteniidae; Curculionidae: Scolytinae) inadvertently introduced to new habitats via global trade is a critical issue for regulatory agencies in numerous countries. We conducted trapping experiments evaluate the effects trap color (black vs. green purple) height (canopy understory) on BBWB Canada, Poland, USA, China, using Fluon-treated 12-unit multiple-funnel traps. Each was baited with same pheromone ethanol lures known attract several species BBWB. predicted composition would differ between vertical strata among colors, that number detected increase greater diversity methods, i.e., by more than one placing traps both canopy understory. Our prediction partially supported, understory different colored did single placed either or canopy. However, combinations colors most varied sites. The community captured significantly affected at all sites, strongest patterns data from Poland USA. Black purple caught similar communities understory, but assemblage Effects richness were consistent across four sites within subfamilies Agrilinae (more any other height-color combination), Chrysochroinae combination) Scolytinae no effect color), Cerambycidae subfamilies. None accumulation curves reached an asymptote color-height combination site, indicating 8–9 per site not sufficient detect present. Thus, increasing deployed will chances detecting non-native may be
