Title Apple-Boring Beetles
Author Angello, NYS IPM
Date 1999
Description Although the number of wood-boring beetles attacking fruit trees is relatively small and their infestations are sporadic, four species found in New York are capable of seriously damaging or killing trees. They differ some in biology and life history, but they are addressed here as a group because their general activities as a pest class are similar. Taken in order of importance and frequency as a pest, they are the roundheaded appletree borer, flatheaded appletree borer, broad necked root borer, and tilehorned prionus.
Keywords appletree borer, roundheaded, flatheaded, broad necked root borer, tilehorned prionus, fruit-tree, apple, insects, arthropods, borer
