Abstract

In the summer of 1982, a pullulation of Apate monachus Fabr. was observed in the north-eastern coastal region of Sardinia. As well as vineyards, peach, pear and apple trees, a tourist village park was attacked, damaging trees of Melia azedarach and Tamarix gallica so severely that trunks were later broken off in the wind. Several Quercus ilex trees were also attacked. No damage was observed to Quercus suber or Ailanthus glandulosa. To control the attack, a synthetic pyrethroid gave good results.
