بررسی کنترل سوسک شاخک بلند سارتا (Aeolesthes sarta) تحت تیمار تزریق به تنه درختان نارون

One of the most important pests of elm, walnut, poplar, sycamore and a number of other tree species in Iran is the Sarta beetle (Aeolesthes sarta) . Due to the high industrial and economic value of the wood of these trees and on the other hand, their abundant use in the urban landscape, A. sarta beetle has caused irreparable damage to these trees. Due to the difficult control of this pest using traditional methods, in the present study, the method of injection into the trunk using systemic insecticide was used to control of this pest. In order to control the Sarta long horned beetle pest by using the trunk injection method, elm trees in Shiraz landscape infected with this pest were identified and studied during field visits. The treatments used were trunk injection of two types of imidacloprid insecticide with concentrations of (0, 1, and 2%) and movento with concentrations of (0, 1, and 2%) in completely randomized block design with 3 replications. The results obtained from the present study showed that the treatment of 2% imidacloprid insecticide significantly(56%) controlled the activity of Sarta beetle larvae compared to control treatment. Also, the use of 2% movento treatment compared to the other two concentrations of this insecticide caused a significant (29%) control of the activity of this pest elm trees compared to control. The best treatment to control this pest in the present study was 2% concentration of imidacloprid insecticide, which is suggested to be compared with other systemic insecticide in other studies.
