“…Both MCH and verbenone have been field tested with promising results (Furniss et al, 1977;McGregor et al, 1984;Amman et al, 1989;Lindgren et al, 1989a,b) and have proved particularly useful in preventing the build-up of beetles on isolated windblown trees. Typical dosages range from 80 to 150g ha.…”

“…However, a negative correlation has been found between the attacks of these two species on the same host tree. Presumably, a "repellent kairomonal" effect is acting to separate these competetive species (FURNISS et al 1977).…”

A review of research papers contributing to an understanding of mechanisms of terpene metabolism is presented along with new findings on this subject. The conclusion of this work is that the terpenoid-type bark beetle pheromones are probably microsomal cytochrome-P-450-produced metabolites of host terpenes. The octane pheromones are de no00 or steroid by-product synthetic compounds. This contrasts with the terpenoid pheromones, which are the result of xenobiotic detoxification mechanisms, most notably the cytochrome P-450, epoxide hydrase, and conju ating enzyme systems. Differences between the protein structure of these enzymes among bark teetle species and sexes, as reflected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of microsomal fractions, account for much of the specificity of pheromones produced and responded to by these beetles. In some cases, microorganisms contribute, possibly via mixed-function oxidase involvement, to the terpene pheromone production. Behavioral implications of these pheromones and their interactions are discussed. U.S.

“…In 1975, FURNISS et al (546) carried out a series of tests with several controlled-release formulations of MCH on 11 m x 43 m plots, each containing a single felled Douglas-fir tree. Attack density and brood density were significantly reduced by some of the MCH treatments.…”
