Ecosystem Function and Health Program, Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, 1731 Research Park Drive, Davis, CA 95618, USA
J Econ Entomol 105:1668-80. 2012....
Responses of Dendroctonus brevicomis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in behavioral assays: implications to development of a semiochemical-based tool for tree protectionChristopher J Fettig
Ecosystem Function and Health Program, Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Davis, CA 95618, USA
J Econ Entomol 105:149-60. 2012..We discuss the implications of these and other results to development of Verbenone Plus as a semiochemical-based tool for management of D. brevicomis and D. ponderosae infestations...
Nonhost angiosperm volatiles and verbenone disrupt response of western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), to attractant-baited trapsChristopher J Fettig
Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Davis, CA 95616, USA
J Econ Entomol 98:2041-8. 2005..Our results suggest that the addition of nonhost angiosperm volatiles to verbenone could be important for developing successful semiochemical-based management techniques for D. brevicomis...
Effectiveness of bifenthrin (Onyx) and carbaryl (Sevin SL) for protecting individual, high-value conifers from bark beetle attack (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in the Western United StatesChristopher J Fettig
Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Davis, CA 95616, USA
J Econ Entomol 99:1691-8. 2006..ponderosa/D. brevicomis and P. monophylla for 0.06% Onyx. We conclude that Onyx is an effective individual tree protection tool, but repeated annual applications may be required in some systems if multiyear control is desired...
Spray deposition from ground-based applications of carbaryl to protect individual trees from bark beetle attackChristopher J Fettig
Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, 1731 Research Park Drive, Davis, CA 95618, USA
J Environ Qual 37:1170-9. 2008..No-spray buffers of 7.6 m should be sufficient to protect freshwater fish, amphibians, crustaceans, bivalves, and most aquatic insects. Buffers >22.9 m appear sufficient to protect the most sensitive aquatic insects (Plecoptera)...

Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Davis, CA 95618, USA
J Econ Entomol 102:1846-58. 2009..We discuss the implications of these and other results to the development of verbenone as a semiochemical-based tool for management of D. brevicomis infestations in P. ponderosa stands...
Laboratory assays of select candidate insecticides for control of Dendroctonus ponderosaeChristopher J Fettig
Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Davis, CA 95618, USA
Pest Manag Sci 67:548-55. 2011..Two novel insecticides, cyantraniliprole [Cyazypyr(™)-OD (oil dispersion) and Cyazypyr(™)-SC (suspension concentrate)] and chlorantraniliprole (Rynaxypyr(®)), and carbaryl were assayed in both filter paper and topical assays...
