Wood Boring

Two devastating insect pests have been introduced to North America and Europe – the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) (Anoplophora glabripennis) and the citrus longhorned beetle (CLB) (Anoplophora chinensis). These two wood-boring beetles are argued to be one of the most serious threats to the tree landscape since they have a large number of host species and genera. With the aim of creating an up-to-date compilation of these hosts, a systematic review was made of the literature for information on tree species attacked and used by ALB and CLB as hosts for complete life cycle or for feeding. This review revealed that a large number of tree species and genera are liable to be attacked by ALB and CLB. However, based on the findings, the whole picture is still unclear. One reason for this is the lack of transparency in published studies regarding lists of susceptible tree species for ALB and CLB. Another factor that needs to be reported is whether a tree species supports the complete life cycle of the beetles or just feeding by adult beetles. Without this information, species possessing moderate host qualities are at risk of being incorrectly labelled as very good hosts and hence excluded as urban trees.

Potential Use

The potential use of vine-shoots as enological additives has been recently demonstrated. They can make a positive contribution to the sensorial profile of wines when they have been stored for 6 months after pruning, granulated, toasted under specific conditions and finally added to wines during winemaking. Since fungicide application is a common practice in vineyards, it is necessary to know the possible presence of such residues. In this study, a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analytical technique method for determination in vine-shoots of the main vineyard fungicides was developed, and their dissipation after post-pruning storage and toasting process was demonstrated. It was confirmed that the use of vine-shoots as enological additives will not pose a risk to the consumer, if good agricultural practices are used.
