Abstract

Prionoxystus robiniae--Control. Borers (Insects)--Control. Poplar--Diseases and pests. Pests--Integrated control--Northwest, Pacific.
Carpenterworms are major pests of hybrid poplars in eastern Oregon and Washington. Larvae burrow into the boles of trees, weakening them and destroying heartwood. The objective of this pest sheet is to convey to professional pest managers a means to monitor moth populations and to suggest a male-trapout strategy to control the population.
