TI  - Methyl bromide as a quarantine treatment for Chlorophorus annularis (Coleoptera: 
      Cerambycidae) in raw bamboo poles.
PG  - 913-20
AB  - At least 26 different species of insects of quarantine significance were 
      intercepted from 1985 to 2005 on bamboo (Bambusa spp.) garden stakes from China. 
      Three fifths of the live insects were cerambycids in nine genera, including 
      Chlorophorus annularis F., the bamboo borer. The current APHIS-PPQ treatment is 
      fumigation schedule T404-d, which requires high doses of methyl bromide (MeBr) 
      for 24 h. No specific fumigation data exist for C. annularis. Chinese and 
      American quarantine scientists cooperated in testing to determine whether this 
      schedule, or lower doses, would be effective as a quarantine treatment for C. 
      annularis infesting dried bamboo poles. A lower dose based on APHIS tests for 
      solid wood packing (SWP) failed (3/511 survivors) at 56 g/m3 for 24 h at 10.0 
      degrees C. We therefore tested five progressive doses at five temperatures 
      intermediate between the lower SWP schedule and the much higher applied doses 
      (e.g., 120 g/m3 for 24 h at 10.0 degrees C) of schedule T404-d. Fumigations of 
      infested bamboo poles conducted in 403.2-liter chambers with 52% vol:vol loading 
      at doses of 48, 64, 80, 96, and 112 g/m3 at 26.7, 21.1, 15.6, 10.0, and 4.4 
      degrees C, respectively (20 total replicates, with 4 replicates per dose), had no 
      survivors among 2,847 larvae, 140 pupae, and 122 adults. Control replicates 
      (three) had a total of 455 live stages (397 larvae, 31 pupae, and 27 adults). 
      Tests conducted with a sea/land cargo container loaded to 80% capacity with 
      bamboo poles verified the ability of the schedule to maintain effective 
      concentrations over 24 h in commercial-sized fumigations. We propose a new bamboo 
      quarantine treatment schedule at reduced rates of applied MeBr.
