Abstract:

Semanotus bifasciatus is a major pest that damages Platycladus orientalis and other cypress trees. Its strong destructive power towards forest trees can lead to severe ecological and economic losses. Currently, Semanotus bifasciatus is mainly distributed in northern China and classified as a highly hazardous pest. In recent years, with global climate change and ecological environmental variations, the occurrence range and damage severity of Semanotus bifasciatus have shown an increasing trend. This study provides a detailed review of the distribution, occurrence and spread, feeding habits, physiological characteristics, monitoring and early warning technologies of the Semanotus bifasciatus, as well as research progress in control strategies. It also looks forward to future research directions, with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of the Semanotus bifasciatus and the spread of the trunk-boring pests of Platycladus orientalis in China.

Key words: Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco, Semanotus bifasciatus, biological characteristics, warning technology, preventive measures
