TI  - Methyl bromide as a quarantine treatment for Anoplophora glabripennis 
      (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in regulated wood packing material.
PG  - 1911-6
AB  - Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), has recently (since 1996) established in 
      limited infestations near several cities in the United States. A. glabripennis 
      was probably introduced into the United States with solid wood packing or 
      dunnage. During 2001, we evaluated the current APHIS Schedule T404-b-1-1 for 
      methyl bromide (MeBr) fumigation. Fumigations were conducted in 432-liter Lexan 
      chambers inside a 6.1-m refrigerated container. Each fumigation consisted of 12 
      high-moisture, naturally infested Populus spp. timbers. We fumigated wood for 24 
      h at 4.4 degrees C (80 g/m3), 10.0 degrees C (64 g/m3), 15.6 degrees C (56 g/m3), 
      and 21.1 degrees C (48 g/m3). All schedule doses resulted in 100% kill of A. 
      glabripennis larvae. During 2002, we conducted additional fumigations to 
      determine the basic toxicity of MeBr to A. glabripennis larvae in solid wood 
      timbers of 10 by 10 by 115-cm size. Probit analysis estimated the CxT product at 
      99.0, 99.9, 99.99, and 99.99683% kill (probit-9). The probit-9 values for CxT 
      were 1,196.1, 918.7, 642.4, and 362.4 g-h/m3 at 4.4, 10.0, 15.6, and 21.1 degrees 
      C, respectively. Applied doses to achieve this level of control were estimated to 
      be 119.6, 82.7, 56.0, and 32.2 g/m3, respectively. These applied doses are 
      satisfactory for wood as a commodity with wood load factors of approximately 25% 
      and may be higher than necessary for container fumigation where sorptive wood 
      load as crating or pallets may only be 5% or less. The APHIS Schedule T404-b-1-1 
      is adequate if extended for 24 h and should be amended to include intermediate 
      doses at 10.0 and 15.6 degrees C, thus reducing the use of MeBr at these 
      temperatures.
