Abstract
Drought-weakened Chinese elm trees, Ulmus parvifolia, heavily infested with smaller European elm bark beetle, Scolytus multistriatus, were trunk banded by smoothing the bark, painting it white and spreading on a "Tanglefoot" strip. Numbers of beetles caught in these bands during 1960 indicate that there are 2 generations and a partial third annually in southern California, with initial emergence beginning about mid-March.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
