Osier weevil started emergence in the last ten days in July and peaked in the tirst and second ten days in August. Emergence on the susceptible species, such as Populus berolinensis, is 5 to 10 days earlier than that on the species of pest-resistance such as P. xiaohei. The adult move slowly, and it spreads or distributes mainly by crawling or by carrying of human beings. Osier weevil has a selection on host species tbr intake nourishment. According to the degree of being addicted, the series can be arranged as Populus berolinensis. Populus staline, Populus pesudo simonii× nigra,Populus xiaohei, Populus pachermis. The adult is likely to dwell on trunks and likely to eat slender and tender branches. Osier weevil makes a choice of host plants to lay eggs. The adult laid more eggs on the P.berolinensis than on P. xiaohei or willow. Most of the eggs laid on the young trees were distributed blow 2 m height. As tree’s age increase, the eggs’ spots get higher and higher. The eggs laid on the eastern and the southern sides of ti1e trunk are more than that laid on the West and the North. P.berolinensis and P. staline are the source trees of osier weevil in artificial Stands in Western Heilongjiang. Cutting the pest source tree, planting pest-resistance species, strengthening the quarantine of the forest plants, and controlling of the diseases and pests timely have very important significance to prevent the occtirrence and damage of this pest.展开更多

The results showed that Osier weevil has a widespread in China, stretching from 33°21' to 51°42' N latitude and 83°00' to 132°58' E longitude, and distributes in forms of big or small patches or sports uncontinously. According to the analysis of meteorological data, the temperature and humidity threshold for osier weevil's distribution were determined by methods of PCA (Principle Component Analysis) and RA(Relativity Analysis): January temperature is -30~ 0℃. Annual temperature -4~13℃, Annual precipitation from 411~ 1,136 min.The areas with January temperature under 0℃, annual temperature above 0℃ and annual precipitation of 400~ 800 mm are the optimum distributing places for osier weevil in China.展开更多
