They produce culms, in which hollow internodes are separated by diaphragms at the nodes. Bamboo culms are flexible and have highly useful mechanical properties (Fujii 2013, Uchimura 2005, 2009, 2012). For example, the tensile strengths of culms of madake, Phyllostachys bambusoides, and moso bamboo, P. edulis (syn.: P. pubescens), the two most common bamboo species in Japan, are 270% and 190%, respectively, of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) wood, and the compression strengths of madake and moso bamboo culms are both 210% of sugi wood (Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute 2004). Bamboo culms also exhibit high machinability and desirable aesthetic qualities (Fujii 2013, Okahisa et al. 2005, Uchimura 2005, 2009, 2012). In Japan, bamboo culms have been used to make household goods, such as furniture products, tools, and utensils, and craft products, and as materials for agricultural and forestry uses (Fujii 2013, Uchimura 2005, 2009, 2012, Ueda 1963). In wooden buildings, they have also been used mainly as decorative elements and as a lathing material for clay walls (Fujii 2013, Uchimura 2005, 2009, 2012, Ueda 1963). However, primarily because of the spread of alternative materials such as plastics and metals, the demand for bamboo culms has been decreasing in Japan (Forestry Agency 2011, Uchimura 2005, 2009, 2012). For example, the production quantity and import of bamboo culms decreased by 35% and 57%, respectively, between 1998 and 2009 (Forestry Agency 2011). The decreasing demand for bamboo has led to expanding areas of bamboo forests being left abandoned, which is being

  • Management of Powder-Post Beetles, Dinoderus Minutus F. in Freshly Cut
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Carlos Manalo Garcia for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Wood Science presented on February 3, 2005. Title:Management of Powder-post Beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in Freshly Cut Bamboo. Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.).This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the seasonal beetle occurrence and costs and benefits of prophylactic treatments to control the damage were investigated under Philippine conditions. Female powder-post beetles deposited eggs mainly in the metaxylem at an average of 9.1 eggs per day. The average development periods for eggs, larva, pupa and egg to adult were 5.4, 43.8, 4.6 and 53.6 days, respectively, at 30 °C. An unknown mite species caused 88% mortality to eggs and could prove to be a potential biocontrol for the beetle. Spores of Beauvaria bassiana and Metarrhizium anisopliae topically applied or sprayed at higher spore concentrations (1: 10 and 1:100) caused significant mortality to D. minutus and could regulate beetle populations. Imperfect fungi constituted the major fungi isolated from the beetles. Further studies are suggested to determine the relationship between these fungi and D. minutus. Beetle populations generally peaked from February to early June and were low to non-existent in July to October in the period studied (1998- 2000). Bamboo starch content and temperature significantly influenced beetle populations.

  • Effects of Methyl Iodide on Mortality of Forest Insect Pests
    R:H.BJAA.PA.PGDI.J6E6C No. 39: 1ῌ6 (2003) E#ects of Methyl Iodide on Mortality of Forest Insect Pests Hiromitsu N6>ID,Mutsuro GDID,Noboru O<6L6, Yukihiro SDB6 and Fusao K6L6@6B> Chemical & Physical Control Laboratory, Research Division, Yokohama Plant Protection Station Abstract: Each stage of nine species of forest insect pests (Callidiellum rufipenne, Monochamus alternatus, Semanotus japonicus, Cryphalus fulvus, Ips cembrae, Xyleborus pfeili, Xylosandrus germanus, Pissodes nitidus and Shirahoshizo rufescens)were fumigated with methyl iodide (MI) at 5, 10, 15, 30 and 50 g/m3 for 24 hours at 15῎ with approximately 25῏ loading. Egg stages of five species of the pests were killed completely at 5 ῌ 10 g/m3 of MI, while larval and pupal stages of all species of the pests under bark and in xylem and artificial diet were also killed completely at 30 g/m3 except for C. rufipenne, M. alternatus and S. rufescens. A100῏ mortality of all stages of the pests except for C. rufipenne larvae in xylem were obtained at 50 g/m3.MI would be a high potential fumigant for imported logs infested with various species of forest insect pests. Key words: quarantine treatment, fumigation, methyl iodide, forest insect pests Introduction Methyl bromide (MB) was listed as an ozone depleting substance in the Fourth Meeting of Montreal Protocol in November 1992. It was determined that the domestic production and consumption from 1995 was frozen at 1991 levels with the exception for plant quarantine and pre-shipment. It was further requested to make every e#ort to reduce emission as much as possible in plant quarantine purpose (T6I:N6,1993).

  • DINODERUS OCELLARIS STEPH.* Part III
    STUDIES ON THE COMMON BAMBOO-BORER, DINODERUS OCELLARIS STEPH.* Part III. Biology BY N. L. SITARAMAN [Technical Development Establishment Laboratory (Stores), Kanpur] Received September 12, 1950 (Communicated by Dr. T. S. Subramanian, F.A.SC.) 1. INTRODUCTION THE bamboo-borer, Dinoderus ocellaris Steph. is a serious pest of bamboos in India and hitherto no detailed work has been described on the biology of this pest. In Parts I and II of this series of papers x, 2 a short account of the egg, sex differentiating structures of the pupae and a technique for rearing larvae under laboratory conditions have been described. Apart from Beeson's account3 on the general biology of this pest and a short note on the subject by Sen, 7 no definite information has been available hitherto on the mode of oviposition, the egg-laying capacity of the beetles, the number and the dura- tion of the larval instars, etc. In order to devise ways and means for the effective control of this pest, a systematic study of the biology of this pest was undertaken in these Laboratories and the results are described in the present paper. For the sake of providing complete information, short summaries of work described earlier in Parts I and II 1, ~ have been included at appro- priate places. 2. SYSTEMATICPOSITION D. ocellaris Steph. belongs to the order Coleoptera, sub-order Polyphaga, superfamily Bostrichoidea and family Bostrychidce. Lesne~ included it in the subfamily Dinoderime, but BSving and Craighead ~ considered Psoicke (including Dinoderus), Bostrychidte and Lyctidce as distinct families and made two groups--the first consisting of Lyctinat, Psoime, Dinoderinae and Apoleonime and the second Bostrychince.

    Volumen 37, Nº 2. Páginas 5-12 A. ARTÍCULOS DE INVESTIGACIÓN / RESEARCH PAPERS IDESIA (Chile) Junio, 2019 Behavioral characterization and alternative control methods of the Bamboo borer [Dinoderus minutus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)] Caracterización del comportamiento y métodos de control alternativos de la broca de bambú [Dinoderus minutus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)] Rudieli M. da Silva1*, Nathalia P. Ribeiro2, Carla da S. Rodrigues3, Raíra A. Pelvine2, Josimara N. Rondon3, Marney P. Cereda3 ABSTRACT Bamboo wood is a widely used raw material for the manufacture of special furniture and handicraft products, and can also be used in construction and architecture. In Brazil, the usage of this material has gained great space in the last decades. However, it can suffer from the attack of the bamboo borer [Dinoderus minutus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)], causing damages and making the use of this wood unviable. Hence, the purpose of this work was to verify the behavior of D. minutus in culms of three bamboo species (Bambusa vulgaris, B. vulgaris var. vittata e B. multiplex) in two seasons of the year, one dry and one rainy season, in addition to testing alternative methods of insect control. In relation to the behavior, we verified the damages caused by the larvae from the oviposition of D. minutus in nodes and internodes of the bamboo species. While the alternative control methods were based on the spraying of the bacterium Proteus mirabilis, as an entomopathogenic agent, on B. vulgaris nodes, and the immersion treatment of nodes of same bamboo species in aqueous extract of Dracaena arborea leaves, and in vinasse. In relation to the insect behavior, there was a higher activity (consumption and reproduction) during the rainy season and a higher attack preference for the species B.

Ges., download www.biologiezentrum.at Mitt. Münch. Ent. Ges. 98 91-97 München, 15.10.2008 ISSN 0340-4943 A review of the literature on the life history of Bostrichidae (Coleoptera) Lan-Yu LIU, Klaus SCHÖNITZER & Jeng-Tze YANG Abstract We review the scattered published literature in many languages on the biology of the beetles family Bostrichidae, and discuss it according to the type of breeding place (stored cereals, dead wood and timber, living tree) in which the bostrichids become pests. We summarize the available data in three life history tables. Introduction Bostrichids are commonly known as powder-post beetles, because of the ability of the larvae to reduce sapwood, particularly of hardwoods, into a powdery frass. Hence, the beetles are of considerable economic importance to forestry and the wood-using industries (RAI & CHATTERJEE 1963), and a few species have become important pests of timber, wooden works and ancient structures in tropical countries (HICKIN 1975). Except for the economically important species, such as the important pests of cereals (FISHER 1950, CABI 2008 ), Rhyzopertha dominica (FABRICIUS, 1792) and Prostephanus truncatus (HORN, 1878), and the important pests of wooden and bamboo structures (FISHER 1950; GERBERG 1957), Sinoxylon spp., Dinoderus spp. and Lyctus spp., studies of the life history of Bostrichidae have rarely been made, because the propensity of the Bostrichidae to burrow into sapwood made the task of studying the life-cycle very difficult (RAI & CHATTERJEE 1963).

Simple Summary: Biological invasions are one of the most critical problems today. Invaders have been damaging tree- and shrub-dominated ecosystems. Among these harmful species, a notable role belongs to bark beetles and borers. Extensive phytosanitary measures are needed to prevent their penetration into new regions. However, the lists of quarantine pests should be reasonably brief for more effective prevention of invasion of potentially harmful insects. Our goal is to reveal the set of biological traits of invasive bark beetles and borers that are currently known. We identified four invasion strategies. Inbred, the first one is characterized by inbreeding, parthenogenesis, polyvoltin- ism, xylomycetophagy, flightless males, polyphagy, to less extent by association with pathogenic fungi. For the second, polyphagous, typical traits are polyphagy, feeding on wood, high fecundity, distance sex pheromones presence, development for one year or more. The third strategy, intermediate, Citation: Demidko, D.A.; Demidko, possesses such features as mono- or olygophagy, feeding on inner-bark, short (one year or less) N.N.; Mikhaylov, P.V.; Sultson, S.M.
