Association of Ovavesicula popilliae With Winter Mortality of Larvae and Reduced Fecundity of Female Japanese Beetles

Populations of Japanese beetle at sites in Michigan where Ovavesicula popilliae was introduced in 1999 and 2000 were compared with nearby control sites from fall of 2005 through spring of 2008.

Parasitoids and Pathogens of Japanese Beetle in Southern Michigan

The density of Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica Newman) and the prevalence of its natural enemies were evaluated in southern Michigan.

Efficacy of Soil-Applied Neonicotinoid Insecticides for Long-term Protection Against Emerald Ash Borer

Protection of green ash trees from the emerald ash borer by soil applications of neonicotinoids was tested at five locations between 2005 and 2013.

Tree Wound Responses Following Systemic Insecticide Trunk Injection Treatments in Green Ash as Determined by Destructive Autopsy

Trunk injection of systemic insecticides is an effective way to manage destructive insects of trees, but many arborists are still reluctant because of the potential for infection by pathogens, structural damage, or adverse effects on tree health.

Multiple-year Protection of Ash Trees from Emerald Ash Borer with a Single Trunk Injection of Emamectin Benzoate, and Single-year Protection with an Imidacloprid Basal Drench

A single trunk injection treatment of emamectin benzoate at the 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4 g ai rate gave 100% control of emerald ash borer larvae in 98 of 99 treated trees for 2-3 years.

Protection of Individual Ash Trees from Emerald Ash Borer with Basal Soil Applications of Imidacloprid

We conducted field trials at five different locations over a period of 6 yr to investigate the efficacy of imidacloprid applied each spring as a basal soil drench for protection against emerald ash borer.

Interspecific Variation in Resistance to Emerald Ash Borer Among North American and Asian Ash

We conducted a 3-yr study to compare the susceptibility of selected North American ash and an Asian ash species to emerald ash borer.
