Causes of Dictyoploca japonica Butler Outbreaks and Integrated Control Strategies
Dictyoploca japonica Butler has recently become one of the primary insect pests dam-aging camphor trees and other tree species.Based on the investigation and research of the occur-rence,damage patterns,and life history of D.japonica Butler in Nanbu County,this paper fo-cused on the larval stage of the pest from April to June.By employing biological control,biora-tional lures,and highly efficient,low-toxicity pesticides,a satisfactory control effect was a-chieved.The authors propose that the control of D.japonica Butler should be based on scientif-ic afforestation,with an emphasis on strengthening forestry technical measures and fundamen-tally improving and enhancing the self-healing capacity of the forest ecosystem.An integrated control strategy is suggested,which utilizes various methods such as manual removal,light trapping,and sticky paper to target the different stages of the pest's life cycle.This study pro-vides a reference for the efficient and green control of D.japonica Butler in local area and offers certain implications for the research and control of other insect pests.
