Data from: Comparing verbenone-based repellents for ambrosia beetle management in eastern apple orchards Kelsey Tobin (25081921) Julie Baniszewski (25081924) Grzegorz Krawczyk (25081927) Michael Reding (2586604) Christopher Ranger (25081930) Monique Rivera (11899751) Agricultural, veterinary and food sciences Pest control Apples Beetles Agricultural sciences <p>Ambrosia beetles (<em>Xylosandrus germanus</em>, <em>Xylosandrus crassiusculu</em>s, and <em>Anisandrus maiche</em>) are economically damaging pests of nursery and orchard trees, and verbenone-based repellents have been proposed as a tool to reduce beetle attacks. This study evaluated the efficacy of four treatments, SPLAT Verbenone (SPLAT), verbenone sachets (SACHET), an experimental SPLAT verbenone formulation (ISCA), and an untreated control (UTC), at reducing ambrosia beetle captures in commercial apple orchards. Data generated from this experiment contain weekly trap counts of three ambrosia beetle species (XG = <em>Xylosandrus germanus</em>; XC = <em>Xylosandrus crassiusculus</em>; AM = <em>Anisandrus maiche</em>) collected on sticky card traps from May–July in three eastern US states (New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania) in commercial apple orchards treated with verbenone-based repellents and an untreated control. The data complies with a CC0 license waiver, and there are no legal or ethical considerations.</p> 2026-09-01T00:00:00Z Dataset Dataset 10.5061/dryad.np5hqc09j https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Data_from_Comparing_verbenone-based_repellents_for_ambrosia_beetle_management_in_eastern_apple_orchards/33951364 CC0
