New subject: Request for information on the use of insect pheromones
Dear colleagues,
I am currently looking for, and compiling, information on the use of pheromones for the
control of insect pests in forest management. My main interest is for published and
internal reports that your institutions may have on the experimental and operational use
of pheromones for the control of insect populations - including information on
application technology, formulation technology and efficacy. However, I am also interested
in documented information on the operational use of pheromone traps for routine monitoring
and detection of insect pests including information on the types of traps that are used
and the rational for their use over other types that are available.
To date I have found very few
articles in the published literature that describe the operational use
of pheromones in forest pest management and I would be very grateful for any electronic
documents or references to published literature that you can provide me with.If you have
printed documents that you are able to send me then please contact me for my mailing
address.
I will be attending the IUFRO meeting in Colonia de Sacramento, Uruguay and I look forward
to meeting some of you there.
Thank you for your consideration,
Chris Riley
