“…Compared with the untreated control, trunk injection of EB significantly reduced A. planipennis larval density on Fraxinus sp. trees . The annual increase in emergence holes between October 2012 and October 2013 in untreated trees remained high (the mean was close to that during the previous period) (Fig.…”

“…The mode of action of EB on A. auroguttatus remains to be determined. In green ash trees, it has been suggested that EB might act as an oviposition repellent or be toxic to first‐instar larvae of A. planipennis : when destructively sampled, treated ash trees were found to have a lower density of larvae or no larvae within wood compared with untreated trees. EB is also highly toxic to A. planipennis adults in leaf‐feeding bioassays .…”

“…Several insecticides, including systemic products (e.g., azadirachtin, dimethoate, emamectin benzoate, dicrotophos, dinotefuran, imidacloprid) and prophylactic bark sprays (e.g., bendiocarb, bifenthrin, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, lindane, permethrin), have been shown to control Agrilus species to varying degrees (Appleby et al 1973;Petrice and Haack 2006;Herms et al 2009;Herms 2010;McKenzie et al 2010;Smitley et al 2010a,b;McCullough et al 2011;D.

Bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius Gory) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a specialist wood-borer endemic to North America, is prone to periodic outbreaks that have caused widespread mortality of birch (Betula spp.) in boreal and north temperate forests. It is also the key pest of birch in ornamental landscapes. Amenity plantings have extended the distribution of birch in North America, for which we report an updated map. Life history and phenology also are summarized. Larvae feed primarily on phloem tissue of stems and branches, which can girdle and kill trees. Stressors such as drought, elevated temperature, and defoliation predispose trees to bronze birch borer colonization and trigger outbreaks, which implicates the availability of suitable host material in the bottom-up regulation of populations. Stress imposed by climate change may increase the frequency of outbreaks and alter the distribution of birch. Bronze birch borer has a diverse array of natural enemies, but their role in top-down population regulation has not been studied. There is substantial interspecific variation in resistance to this insect. North American species share a coevolutionary history with bronze birch borer and are much more resistant than Eurasian species, which are evolutionarily naïve. Potential resistance mechanisms are reviewed. The high susceptibility of Eurasian birch species and climatic similarities of North America and Eurasia create high risk of widespread birch mortality in Eurasia if the borer was inadvertently introduced. Bronze birch borer can be managed in amenity plantings through selection of resistant birch species, plant health care practices, and insecticides.

“…The absence of detectable dinotefuran concentrations beyond the first month of sampling may be due to dinotefuran moving quickly through the plant and its inability to bind well to organic material. Similarly, in ash trees dinotefuran rapidly translocated and then declined a few months later [24,33]. Since black walnut is labeled as a group 14 crop, chemical concentration levels in the nutmeat are carefully controlled.…”

Black walnut, a valuable economic and environmentally important species, is threatened by thousand cankers disease. Systemic imidacloprid and dinotefuran applications were made to mature black walnut trees to evaluate their translocation and concentration levels in various tissue types including leaf, twig, trunk core, nutmeat, and walnut husk. The metabolism of imidacloprid in plants produces a metabolite, olefin-imidacloprid, which has been documented to have insecticidal properties in other systems. Trunk CoreTect (imidacloprid) soil pellets and a trunk spray of dinotefuran were applied to mature black walnuts in spring 2011. Imidacloprid concentrations were detected in both the lower and upper strata in all tissue types tested and progressively increased through month 12 post-treatment in twig and leaf tissue. Olefin-imidacloprid was detected in the nutmeat and walnut husk. Dinotefuran was only detected in the first sampling period and was found in low concentration levels in leaf and twig tissue types, and was not detected in the trunk, nutmeat or the walnut husk.
