The Sirex woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, is the most important invasive alien insect pest of Pinus plantations in the Southern Hemisphere. It now also threatens pines in North America. This book brings together the worldwide knowledge of researchers from Universities and Government institutions, as well as forest industry practitioners that have worked on the pest. Importantly, it is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject since S. noctilio was discovered outside its native range around 1900.

The Sirex woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, is the most important invasive alien insect pest of Pinus plantations in the Southern Hemisphere. It now also threatens pines in North America. This book brings together the worldwide knowledge of researchers from Universities and Government institutions, as well as forest industry practitioners that have worked on the pest. Importantly, it is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject since S. noctilio was discovered outside its native range around 1900. The book covers all aspects of the biology and management of S. noctilio, including aspects of the insects' taxonomy, general life history, host-plant relationships, population dynamics, chemical ecology and symbiosis with the fungus Amylostereum areolatum. The book also contains a comprehensive synthesis of the history and current status of the pest and worldwide efforts to control it, including biological control, silviculture and quarantine.

Factors affecting the efficacy of Deladenus siricidicola in biological control systems.- 10. Ecological considerations in using Deladenus siricidicola for the biological control of Sirex noctilio in North America.- 11. The chemical ecology of Sirex noctilio.- 12. The use of kairomone lures for the detection of Sirex noctilio in susceptible Pinus radiata plantations in Australia.- 13. The Sirex woodwasp in New Zealand: History and current status.- 14. Sirex woodwasp in Australia: current management strategies, research and emerging issues.- 15. The ecology and biological control of the woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, in Patagonia, Argentina.- 16. The woodwasp Sirex noctilio in Brazil: monitoring and control.- 17. Surveillance and control of the Sirex woodwasp: The Chilean experience.- 18.
