The evaluation of factors with a significant influence on individual tree protection success - tree Injection

Changsanoh, Rawiporn

The trees are attacked by phytophagous insects both in forests and non-forest environments. The common phytophagous insects in the Czech Republic are the gypsy moth – Lymantria dispar and the horse chestnut leaf miner – Cameraria ohridella which are both species cause severe defoliation on host tree species and have therefore been selected for laboratory and field experiments. The tree protection method used was tree microinjection with the active substances abamectin and emamectin benzoate with the host tree species (Tilia cordata and Aesculus hippocastanum). Tree microinjection was effective to control those insect pests which was influenced by related factors e.g. the species of the target organism, its developmental stage, the concentration and type of the active substance, etc. Emamectin benzoate was an effective method of tree species protection for both of the above insect species, whereas only C. ohridella responded to abamectin in the treated trees.
