TI  - Sulfuryl fluoride as a quarantine treatment for Chlorophorus annularis 
      (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Chinese bamboo poles.
PG  - 277-83
AB  - Bamboo (genera Bambusa and Phyllstachys) is one of the fastest growing and 
      economically important plants in the world, and it is cultivated widely 
      throughout southern China. China annually exports to the United States 
      significant quantities of bamboo garden stakes (Bambusa spp.). In recent years, 
      Plant Protection and Quarantine officers of the U.S. Department of 
      Agriculture-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service have made numerous 
      interceptions of the bamboo borer, Chlorophorus annularis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: 
      Cerambycidae), in bamboo products from China. This species is considered to have 
      high pest risk potential in the trade of bamboo products. As a fumigant, sulfuryl 
      fluoride (SF) would be a practical alternative to methyl bromide (MeBr) 
      fumigation. Here, we report the results of SF fumigation tests for C. annularis 
      in bamboo poles at three doses--96 g/m3 at 15.9 degrees C, 80 g/m3 at 21.5 
      degrees C, and 64 g/m3 at 26.0 degrees C--in glass test chambers. Commercial 
      standard fumigations were also conducted in a standard 6.1-m-long, 33.2-m3 
      (standard height, 20-feet) marine general cargo container loaded to 80% (vol:vol) 
      with similar bamboo poles, and sufficient levels of SF were obtained during the 
      24-h fumigations. During the course of these tests, 2424 larvae, 90 pupae, and 23 
      adults in total were killed, with no survivors. A treatment schedule using SF is 
      proposed for bamboo as an alternative to MeBr at several temperatures tested.
