Asian Longhorned Beetle

Control and Management 

Efforts are underway to develop environmentally safe, biologically-based methods to control ALB that do not entail destruction of the entire infested tree.  The potential for using nematodes and several pathogens has been evaluated.  Systemic insecticides have also been evaluated as a method to kill adults and larvae, and as a method to prevent infestation of trees within the quarantine zones.

Our Research

• Systemic Insecticides.
• Biological Control and Natural Enemies
  • Nematodes
  • Pathogens
