City longhorn beetle (Aeolesthes sarta): A review of the species, its distribution, ecology, damage, prevention and control

The city longhorn beetle (Aeolesthes sarta) (CLB) (Coleoptera – Cerambycidae) is a polyphagous invasive pest of both healthy and suppressed broadleaved trees in central Asia. CLB causes great degree damage the countries its origin. To understand this better way, detailed review study has been conducted to gather all valuable information related CLB. This covers main aspects CLB, morphology, ecology, distribution, damage, control measures. life span two years. It mainly distributed Asian preferably damages tree species, especially Juglans regia, Populus alba, P. euphratica, Acer spp, Salix S. babylonica, Malus pumila, M. sylvestris, Platanus orientalis Ulmus spp. Effective management practices include cutting, removing + burning infested trees, cultivating high resilient use biocontrol agents (i.e. fungus), aluminium phosphide as pesticide significantly help population. A invasion new favourable habitat could impose serious threat broadleaf forests plantations. Therefore, keen monitoring surveying woodland techniques are recommended. strict inspection traded wood material at airports seaports highly There need conduct multiple research studies profoundly phenology, transportation mode, severity bridge gap.
