TY - JOUR T1 - Biology and Management of Clearwing Borers in Woody Plants JF - Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) SP - 145 LP - 150 DO - 10.48044/jauf.1983.035 VL - 9 IS - 6 AU - D.A.

Diagnosis and general control practices for borers are discussed. Emergence and flight periods, based on trapping studies with synthetic sex attractants, are reported for six common clearwing borers, and optimal treatment dates are projected. Research indicates that trees with certain characteristics, such as bark injuries or exposure to full sun, are especially prone to infestation. Proper site selection and tree management can help to prevent borer problems. ER -
