Abstract:

Trapping experiments were carried out on the import timber to evaluate the trapping effect of seven kinds of bark beetle's attractant. The attractants contain the components of host volatile, bark beetle's feces and the synthetic components of the host pathogen. The result showed that the attractants were efficient. They were cheaper than the Canadian attractant. The technique can be generalized in timber quarantine. Trapping effect was influenced by the weather condition (temperature, wind and rain) and how long and where the traps established.

Key words: bark beetle, semiochemicals, timber quarantine, trapping experiments, affecting factors
