Bamboo (genera Bambusa and Phyllstachys) is one of the fastest growing and economically important plants in the world, and it is cultivated widely throughout southern China. China annually exports to the United States significant quantities of bamboo garden stakes (Bambusa spp.). In recent years, Plant Protection and Quarantine officers of the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service have made numerous interceptions of the bamboo borer, Chlorophorus annularis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), in bamboo products from China. This species is considered to have high pest risk potential in the trade of bamboo products. As a fumigant, sulfuryl fluoride (SF) would be a practical alternative to methyl bromide (MeBr) fumigation. Here, we report the results of SF fumigation tests for C. annularis in bamboo poles at three doses--96 g/m3 at 15.9 degrees C, 80 g/m3 at 21.5 degrees C, and 64 g/m3 at 26.0 degrees C--in glass test chambers. Commercial standard fumigations were also conducted in a standard 6.1-m-long, 33.2-m3 (standard height, 20-feet) marine general cargo container loaded to 80% (vol:vol) with similar bamboo poles, and sufficient levels of SF were obtained during the 24-h fumigations. During the course of these tests, 2424 larvae, 90 pupae, and 23 adults in total were killed, with no survivors. A treatment schedule using SF is proposed for bamboo as an alternative to MeBr at several temperatures tested.
竹子（属 Bambusa 和 Phyllostachys）是世界上生长最快、经济价值最重要的植物之一，在中国南方广泛种植。中国每年向美国大量出口竹制园艺桩（Bambusa spp.）。近年来，美国农业部动植物卫生检验局的植物保护和检疫官员多次截获来自中国的竹节象甲（鞘翅目：象甲科）。这种物种在竹制品的贸易中被认为具有很高的害虫风险潜力。作为一种熏蒸剂，硫酰氟（SF）将是甲基溴（MeBr）熏蒸的实用替代品。在这里，我们报告了在三个剂量下（15.9°C 时 96 g/m3，21.5°C 时 80 g/m3，26.0°C 时 64 g/m3）在玻璃测试室中对竹杆中的竹节象甲进行 SF 熏蒸试验的结果。还在一个标准的 6.1 米长、33.2 立方米（标准高度，20 英尺）的海洋杂货集装箱中进行了商业标准熏蒸，该集装箱装载了类似的竹杆，装载量为 80%（体积比），在 24 小时的熏蒸过程中获得了足够水平的 SF。在这些测试过程中，共杀死了 2424 条幼虫、90 条蛹和 23 条成虫，没有幸存者。提出了一种在几种测试温度下用 SF 替代 MeBr 的竹材处理方案。
