In Honduras, we have problems with the management of the dendroctunus frontalis, so i want to know if you know of some papers that talking about of this kind of methods.
Yes, Dmitry is right, the prevention is the best mechanism, the installation and monitoring a network of pheromone traps is the solution to prevent the populations of the insect convert to a pest dimension.
Thank you Dmitry and Antonio, Im Using right now some traps but what´s happen with the infested tree right now? , So Kashif Kamran I will use your solution to reduce the effect of the dendroctunus frontalis by a systemics insectisides.
Best Regards.
Yes! We tested sistemic insecticides using acephate or emamectin benzoate applied with the high pressure "INJECTHOR" system. Refs: Gochez et al. 2015. Insecticidas sistemicos para el control de Dendroctonus adjunctus Blandford 1897 en el Nevado de Toluca. Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales Vol 6 (27): 50-63.
Arriola Padilla et al. 2014. Manual sobre alternativas para el Manejo de Descortezadores y muérdago enano en Areas Naturales Protegidas en el Eje neovolcanivo Trnsversal. Manual técnico 13. CENID-COMEF, INIFAP. México, D.F.. 44 p.
It is important to inject in recently infested trees (green foliage)!! You may even save many trees.
Do not wsdte your time and money with unefficient methods of inyection, the "Injecthor" system, a high power portable drill (Miliwakee 18 volts) in internet you may find suppliers for these tools.
Yes, I bought a MAKITA PORTABLE DRILL/HAMMER, to do the injection.
thank you again.
After drilling, make sure you use the appropiate sealing valve to allow injection and avoid spilling of the sistemic insecticide.
