The basal 1 m of the elm trunks were treated with 0.48% (active ingredient, Al) Dursban aqueous solution (chlorpyrifos) or 0.1% (Al) Ripcord aqueous solution (cypermethrin) for control of overwintering native elm bark beetle, Hylurgopinus rufipes, the vector of Dutch elm disease, Ophiostoma (Ceratocystis) ulmi, at Beaudry Provincial Park, near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A simple and effective bioassay method was developed to determine insecticidal persistence against the native elm bark beetle. Beetles reared in naturally infested elm logs were confined to the surface of elm bark circles taken from the treated trees. Bark circles were cut at various times after treatment using a cordless hole saw and stored at - 32°C until the beetles were available. Mortality/morbidity data for the two treatments were suitable for use in the comparison of the action of the two insecticides over a two-year period. |
