TI  - Container fumigation as a quarantine treatment for Anoplophora glabripennis 
      (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in regulated wood packing material.
PG  - 664-70
AB  - Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky, an Asian cerambicid beetle, was first found 
      in the United States in 1996 and was likely introduced into the United States 
      through infested wood packing materials and dunnage. Methyl bromide (MeBr) 
      fumigation is an internationally accepted treatment for such wood-boring beetles, 
      but the use of MeBr is scheduled for reduction or elimination as alternatives 
      become available. The use of MeBr can be reduced by more efficient and 
      technically sound fumigation techniques, including good circulation and proper 
      loading. Concentration x time products (CxT) reported for A. glabripennis in 
      solid wood timbers were used to test estimated doses in container fumigations 
      conducted in Tianjin and Shanghai, China, during years 2002-2003. We found that 
      CxT products observed were generally adequate and would support reduced doses of 
      MeBr at temperatures intermediate (10.0 and 15.6 degrees C) to the Animal and 
      Plant Health Inspection Service schedule of 80 g and 48 g/m3 at > or =4.4 and > 
      or = 21.1degrees C, respectively. The use of fans is recommended, and loading of 
      the containers should never reach 100% to allow for better circulation and 
      desorption. Proper use of fans will allow for better aeration and increase safety 
      to inspectors and consignees of containerized fumigated commodities.
