Hi all,
My name is Curtis Takahashi. I work for the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Integrated Pest Control, Biocontrol group. I am the lead scientist for our CAPS exotic woodborer survey. Anyone know of anyone working on bostrichids?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Curtis,
I would like to announce to you that Phyllom LLC has submitted a registration dossier to EPA for a new Bt strain SDS-502 called boreGone! which has activity against Coleoptera spp. including invasive wood boring beetles like Emerald Ash Borer and PIne Beetles. The active component is Cry8Da a natural protein crystal.
If this is of interest then I would be pleased to provide more information.
Regards
Kurt Schwartau
