GB/T 36837-2018 in English

1. Background and significance of standard formulation

The coffee borer (Apate monachus Fabricius) is an important quarantine pest that spreads over long distances mainly through wood, wood products and packaging materials. The formulation of this standard aims to standardize its quarantine identification methods and prevent it from causing harm to my country's agricultural and forestry resources.

2. Analysis of technological evolution

Based on the systematic taxonomy method, combined with morphological characteristics and biological information, this standard provides a scientific and systematic identification process. Compared with previous identification methods, this standard has significantly improved both detection methods and laboratory technology.

4. Detection and Rearing Methods

5. Laboratory identification steps

According to GB/T 36837-2018 standard, laboratory identification needs to combine morphological characteristics with taxonomic methods:

1. Observe the characteristics of the head, antennae and pronotum of the adult.
2. Check whether there are nodular or dentate protrusions on the side of the inclined surface of the elytra.
3. Observe the tunnel damage of the host plant under a microscope.

6. Specimen preparation and preservation

Pin insertion and immersion are two common methods used in laboratories. Pin insertion is suitable for adults, while immersion is used for smaller samples such as larvae.

7. Implementation recommendations

To ensure the effective implementation of the standard:

• Strengthen the training of quarantine personnel to improve their ability to identify the morphological characteristics of the coffee black borer.
• Equipped with advanced testing equipment, such as stereo microscopes and molecular biology testing instruments.
• Establish a national monitoring network to share epidemic information in a timely manner.
