Biological Control of Tansy Ragwort

Purpose

A small cage will be placed over a cluster of tansy ragwort to observe the behavior of a flea beetle (Longitarsus jacobaeae) under consideration for control of tansy ragwort. If this beetle shows promise they may need other areas in the forest to further

Volatile compounds in Douglas-fir logs cut during different seasons

Purpose

To establish a relationship between volatiles emitted from downed logs and the attack of ambrosia beetles. The study plan calls for the establishment of two log treatments in the fall. In fall, winter ,spring, and summer six logs with live ploem will b

Physical Performance of Behavioral Chemical Releasors

Purpose

Determine how synthetic bark beetle pheromones, released at the ground, from head height on trees, disperses horizontally and vertically in the field. Temperature, wind, forest type will be considered as variables. Imformation derived will allow developme

Improving methods and cost efficiency for detecting exotic wood-boring ambrosia beetles

Purpose

This is a joint research project between the USDA Forest Service, Pacific NW Research Station and the Oregon Department of Agriculture, Plant Division. Over a 2 year period (2002 and 2003) they will test various trap and lure types in locations throughout
