Journal Title: Doğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 0
Abstract
International trade plays an important role in the transport of many insect species from one place to another. Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the harmful insects that can be transported through the imported ornamental plants. It is listed on Annex-1B the harmful organisms that have limited existence in Turkey, that are subject to quarantine and that hinder importation of the plant quarantine regulation in Turkey. This species can be transported in egg, larva, pupa periods within the xylem of the plant. Females cut a T-shaped slit on the bole of the trees about 60 cm high from the ground or on the exposed roots with their mandibles and deposit one egg in each of these slits. Adults of the insects are seen in the period between May and October. Since eggs, larvae and pupae are located inside the tree's thrunk, it is very difficult to detect its presence from the outside. However, it is possible to determine the presence of a 1-1.5 cm diameter exit hole or see adults that exit from the tree's trunk. The presence of feeding signs in the shoots and sawdust debris on the trunk can also indicate the presence of damage. Most of the damage symptoms are seen around the height of 1.5 m from the ground. When the adult exit holes are seen, it is too late for the control. In this study it is aimed to give information about citrus longhorn beetle A. chinensis short biology, hosts, damage, control and eradication measures carried out in Turkey and in the world and quarantine measures need to be taken.
