Abstract:

Attractant was used to trap stem borers in temple of heaven, Beijing to testify the effect of borer attractant on stem borers of Platycladus orientalis (Linn.) Franco during its active stage from 2009 to 2010. And an experiment was conducted to study the effects of temperature on trap efficiency. Results showed that the stem borer attractant had good effect which could attract 3 species of stem insects, including Semanotus bifasciatus Motschuisky, Phloeosinus perlatus Chapius and Bostrychidac sp.. The long horned beetles adults was the earliest active, secondly Bostrychidac sp. and Phloeosinus perlatus Chapius. The 3 insects number of trap were obviously effected by the daily maximum temperature. Accordingly, the population dynamic of Semanotus bifasciatus Motschuisky, Phloeosinus perlatus Chapius and Bostrychidac sp., and the relation of daily maximum temperature. It will play an important role in monitoring and controlling the population density of Semanotus bifasciatus.
