DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Black Turpentine Beetle: Its Habits and Control The black turpentine beetle, long considered relatively harm less, has since 1949 been killing large numbers of pines throughout the Deep South, causing substantial losses to both timber growers and turpentine farmers. Presence of this large, black or reddish-brown bark beetle is indicated by tubular masses of reddish pitch on fresh stumps and on the lower trunks of standing pines. Adult beetles deposit groups of eggs a long tunnels in the inner bark. The larvae feed on the inner bark and often consume enough of it to girdle the tree. All Species of southern pine are attacked.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Louisiana timber industry relies on the availability of harvestable trees. In areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the black turpentine beetle (Dendroctonus terebrans) contributed to the mortality of loblolly (Pinus taeda) and slash (Pinus elliottii) pine trees. This timber loss due to natural causes reduces the landowner s earnings The BTB girdles the cambium layer of pines that are weakened by wind or drought. This study estimated post-Rita beetle damage on a 458-acre slash pine tract consisting of 157 trees per acre on the West Bay Wildlife Management Area, Louisiana. Timber loss was estimated by identifying, mapping, and calculating the board footage of infested trees on 40 randomly selected plots within the sampling area. There were 785 infested trees that averaged 28.3 board feet per tree. The loss totaled to 22,216 board feet with a value of $7,775. The estimated timber loss was compared to historical tree losses due to beetle infestations. Further research should be implemented to gather additional information on timber losses that resulted from the consequential infestation of the black turpentine beetle in hurricane affected timber stands.
