TI  - Sulfuryl fluoride as a quarantine treatment for Anoplophora glabripennis 
      (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in regulated wood packing material.
PG  - 1628-35
AB  - The Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: 
      Cerambycidae), was probably introduced into the United States from China with 
      solid wood packing and dunnage during the 1980s, and it has recently become 
      established in limited infestations near several major cities in the United 
      States. Regulated wood packing material (RWPM) arriving in the United States from 
      China is required to undergo fumigation with methyl bromide (MeBr), to be heat 
      treated, or kiln dried. Sulfuryl fluoride (SF) is a candidate fumigant to replace 
      MeBr under certain conditions. SF fumigations were conducted in 432-liter Lexan 
      chambers held in a 6.1-m (20-foot) refrigerated container for temperature 
      control. Each fumigation consisted of 12 Populus spp. 10- by 10- by 115-cm 
      timbers, of high moisture content, naturally infested with Asian longhorned 
      beetle. During 2001, we fumigated wood for 24 h at a range of doses (20-112 g/m3) 
      and temperatures (4.4, 10.0, 15.6, and 21.1 degrees C) and subjected the data to 
      probit analysis. Confirmatory fumigations were conducted at doses of 120 and 104 
      g/m3 at temperatures of 10.0 and 15.6 or 21.1 degrees C, respectively, which 
      resulted in complete kill of all larvae. Pupae that became available later in the 
      year as temperatures warmed were fumigated at 15.6 and 21.1 degrees C with 104 
      g/m3, which resulted in complete pupal mortality. The next year (2002), we 
      conducted 24-h fumigations with doses of 116 g/m3 at 4.4 and 10.0 degrees C with 
      cold-harvested wood infested with cold-acclimated larvae. Cold-acclimated larvae 
      required much higher concentration times time (CxT) product for control at 4.4 
      and 10.0 degrees C compared with nonacclimated larvae. Sulfuryl fluoride 
      treatments at a dose of 104 g/m3 and temperature of 15.6 degrees C and above and 
      that achieved a CxT product of 1,095 g-h/m3 or above are recommended for RWPM 
      infested with Asian longhorned beetle larvae and pupae.
