ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to methods and compositions for combating mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) which causes severe damage to pine trees in North America. A method and apparatus for reducing attack by mountain pine beetles Dendroctonus ponderosae on pine trees, Pinus species, by spacially deploying verbenone (4,6,6-trimethylbicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-en-2-one) in stands of pine trees.
