Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) is an invasive, wood-boring pest originating from Asia. It was first detected in the US in 1992 and has since spread to several states with its most recent detection near Charleston, SC in 2020. Asian longhorned beetle poses a significant economic and ecological impact to infested communities and due to the extensive damage it causes in host trees, eradication is the primary focus for management. The low lying, swampy land of the South Carolina infestation poses challenges to traditional eradication methods and research is being completed testing new strategies to successfully eradicate ALB. What methods are being tested and are any of them working? This webinar will discuss ALB's impact and give us an update on ALB South Carolina research.
