  • DETECTING and IDENTIFYING WALNUT TWIG BEETLE: Monitoring Guidelines for the Invasive Vector of Thousand Cankers Disease of Walnut
    Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING WALNUT TWIG BEETLE: Monitoring Guidelines for the Invasive Vector of Thousand Cankers Disease of Walnut STEVEN J. SEYBOLD, USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Davis, Calif.; PAUL L. DALLARA, Entomology, UC Davis; STACY M. HISHINUMA, Entomology, UC Davis; MARY LOUISE FLINT, Entomology, UC Davis and UC Statewide IPM Program Walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis, (Figure 1) is a small native phloeophagous (phloem-feeding) insect recently associated with the fungus Geosmithia morbida (Kolařik et al. 2011). This fungus and WTB are the principal agents involved in thousand cankers disease (TCD) (Seybold et al. 2013). Walnut and butternut are the primary hosts (Utley et al. 2013). This disease is fatal to walnut trees and is responsible for the gradual decline of several species of black walnut in the west- ern United States during the past decade (Graves et al. 2009; Flint et al. 2010; Tisserat et al. 2011). The disease has spread widely in the western United States and has been detected in eastern states—including Ten- nessee in June 2010, Virginia in May 2011, and Pennsylvania in August S. M. Hishinuma, UC Davis 2011—threatening the highly valuable native timber stands of eastern Figure 1. Adult male WTB, lateral prole. black walnut, Juglans nigra (Newton and Fowler 2009). The beetle is now distributed discontinuously in the United States from eastern Pennsylvania to western Oregon and from northern Idaho to southern New Mexico in the West (Seybold et al. 2012a). It was trapped in southwestern Ohio in July 2012. Populations of WTB have been invari- ably associated with the fungus: this type of dieback of walnut has been found only where the beetle is present.

In 2004, the USDA intercepted live Callidiellum villosulum beetles from wood décor and craft products imported from China, and shipments of the commodity were recalled. Options to mitigate the risk of introducing quarantine arthropod pests in wood décor and craft products (non-palleting and non-crating) from China into the United States include fumigation and heat treatment described in the PPQ Treatment Manual.

  • Field Guide to Diseases & Insects of the Rocky Mountain Region
    United States Department of Agriculture / Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region, Forest Health Protection Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-241 December 2010 Rocky Mountain Region, Forest Health Protection. 2010. Field guide to diseases & insects of the Rocky Mountain Region. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-241 Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 336 p. Abstract This field guide is a forest management tool for field identification of biotic and abiotic agents that damage native trees in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wyoming, which constitute the USDA Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Region. The guide focuses only on tree diseases and forest insects that have significant economic, ecological, and/ or aesthetic impacts; this guide does not necessarily cover all possible damage agents. Management suggestions are provided where available. The field guide is divided into two sections: one describes both diseases and damage caused by animals and abiotic factors, and the other describes insects. Agents are presented by the type and/or location of the injury on the tree. Written descriptions, color photographs, a general index, an index by host tree species, descriptive tables, and line drawings are all provided to assist users in identifying damaging agents. You may order additional copies of this publication by sending your mailing information in label form through one of the following media. Please specify the publication title and series number.
