Major insect pests of elm treesLymantria elmiiIdentification characteristics: Adult: body length about 12 mm, wingspan about 25 mm. The body and wings are white, while the tibia and tarsus of the feet are orange-yellow. Eggs: Oval in shape, grayish yellow in color, covered with grayish black secretions, and arranged in clusters. Larvae: The mature larvae are about 30 mm long and have a light yellow body. The larvae have white hair tumors on the back of each segment, the base of the tumors is black, and the 1st and 2nd abdominal segments have larger black hair clusters. Pupa: About 15 mm long, light green, with dark brown hairs on the top of the head. Green-tailed silkworm mothIdentification characteristics, adult: body length 35~40 mm, wingspan about 122 mm. The body is covered with thick white fluff, the wings are pink-green, there is an eye-shaped pattern in the center of the wings, and the hind wings have a tail-like protrusion that is 40 mm long. Eggs: Spherical and slightly flat, 2 mm long, gray-brown. Larva: About 80 mm long, yellow-green in color, with two red and yellow lines on the spiracles.

Integrated control of elm pestsLight trapUse black light to lure and kill the adult insects during their emergence stage. Artificial controlIn combination with maintenance and management, egg masses and newly hatched clustered larvae are removed and eliminated in a concentrated manner, and overwintering larvae and overwintering cocoons are eliminated. Biological controlUse natural enemies such as bumblebees, hornets, sparrows, etc. to control pests. The green-tailed silkworm moth will release trichogrammatids during the egg stage, and the parasitism rate can be as high as 60%~70%. During the low-instar larval stage, the plants need to be sprayed with 1500~2000 times diluted 25% carbendazim No. 3 suspension. During the high-instar larval stage, the plants need to be sprayed with 400~600 times diluted Bacillus thuringiensis emulsion containing more than 10 billion spores per milliliter. Chemical controlDuring the peak period of larvae, it is necessary to spray 2500-3000 times diluted 20% cypermethrin emulsifiable concentrate, or spray the plants with 2000 times diluted 20% cypermethrin emulsifiable concentrate. |
