  • zControl area excluded for no. verbenone pouches/ha.

  • yRed trees scarce in residential areas because most red trees removed. A beetle emerging from a red tree in one of the three areas is capable of attacking any living tree in all three areas. Therefore, red trees/ha calculated for all three areas combined.
