Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Entomology
  • Forest Entomology
  • African Flora Biodiversity

Background:

  • Dacryodes edulis (African plum) is an economically important fruit tree in Central Africa.
  • Pest infestations can significantly impact the yield and quality of D. edulis.
  • Limited information exists on the specific insect pests associated with D. edulis in Gabon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To inventory and identify insect pests of Dacryodes edulis in Gabon.
  • To assess the abundance and diversity of these pests across different sampling sites.
  • To provide baseline data for developing pest management strategies for D. edulis.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a two-year pest inventory (2009-2010) in rural Gabon.
  • Utilized yellow traps and visual observations for weekly pest monitoring during the flowering stage.
  • Employed statistical analyses to compare pest abundance and diversity between sampling sites.

Main Results:

  • A total of 7,296 and 1,722 insect pests were captured in yellow traps in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
  • Visual observations recorded 1,812 and 171 insect pests in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
  • Identified specific pests attacking stems (Mecocorynus loripes), leaves (Oligotrophus sp., Pseudophacopteron serrifer, Selenothrips rubrocinctus), and fruits/inflorescences (Pseudonoorda edulis, Lobesia aeolopa).

Conclusions:

  • Pest abundance varied significantly between sampling sites.
  • Pest diversity showed significant differences based on visual observations in 2010.
  • The identification of these pests is foundational for creating effective control strategies for D. edulis in Gabon and surrounding regions.
