| Latin Name | Agrilus planipennis |
| Common Name | Emerald ash borer |
| Biology | Adults exhibit diurnal activity, ovipositing in bark fissures of Ash trees (Fraxinus). Larvae bore through the cortex and xylem, forming S-shaped galleries that disrupt vascular tissues, culminating in tree mortality – a devastating pest for Ash trees. |
| Damage | This pest primarily damages Fraxinus species. |
| Distribution Regions | North America and East Asia |
| Monitoring | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
| Recommended Traps | EAB Prism Trap |
Literature review
The cited publications support the exact compound-species relationship. Formulation, ratio, loading, release rate and field lifetime depend on a validated lure protocol and are not inferred here.
