Presentation Transcript

  1. PROFOREST WP 7.2 Attractants/anti-attractants in forest protection Networking Wojciech GRODZKI Dept. of Forest Management in Mountain Regions, Kraków

  2. Objective • Improving the knowledge of young scientists about the chemoecological research by the cooperation with European laboratories.

  3. Methodology & study materials • Short term visits connected with the use of attractants/antiattractants in the forest protection against bark and wood boring insects: • Continuous networking by common field experiments and current e-mail contacts. • Current contacts during various scientific meetings.

  4. Internal visits: dr Jaroslav Holuša from the Forestry and Game Management Research Institute Jiloviště-Strnady, Czech Republic(June/July 2004). Goals: • extension of the knowledge about the chemical communication in insects, research methods and results, and perspectives for forestry; • definition of possibilities for common research on the attractants and antiattractants of bark beetles feeding on Norway spruce; Timing: visit planned for Month 16, executed in Month 15 Changes resulted from natural conditions and current activities

  5. Internal visits: dr Rastislav Jakuš from Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Zvolen, Slovakia (Febuary 2005) Goals: • definition of possibilities for common research on the attractants and antiattractants of bark beetles feeding on Norway spruce – working meeting with doc. Fredrik Schlyter (SLU Alnarp) and doc. Petr Zahradnik (FGMRI Jiloviště-Strnady), before the PROFOREST Advisory Board meeting in Kraków; Timing: visit not planned, executed in Month 23 (good opportunity for discussions before 2005 vegetation season)

  6. Networking – current status

  7. Treated trees: Semi-commercial antiattractants IT-REP (Fytofarm, Slovakia) Antiattractants field tests 2004 Experimental site: Poland – Beskidy Mts., Węgierska Górka Forest District Design:

  8. Antiattractants field tests 2004 9 replications in selected stand edges Checking every month during vegetation season Additional checking needed in the spring 2005 Processing of results – in progress

  9. Pilot „push-pull” experiment Experimental site: Poland – Beskidy Mts., Węgierska Górka Forest District 10 trees with antiattractants; A set of pheromone traps Checking every month

  10. Ips amitinus Eichh. • Experiments on I. amitinus pheromones planned for 2004 • Living beetles collected in the spring

  11. Ips amitinus Eichh. • Technical problems with the transfer of living beetles to Sweden (quarantine) • Alternative solutions needed (2005?)

  12. Milestones WP7.2-D. Reports on common laboratory and field research using attractants and anti-attractants in the protection of forests against pest insects. Milestone in the year 2 planned for Month 16. Common experiments prepared and started in the summer 2004 (Month 16, data not finally processed.

  13. Deliverables WP7.2-DReports concerning common laboratory and field research with using attractants and anti-attractants in the protection of forests against pest insects. Planned delivery – Month 35 (expected delivery on time)
