2010 年 8 月，首次报道咖啡浆果蛀虫 Hypothenemus hampei 入侵夏威夷科纳咖啡种植区，对该州第四大农产品造成严重的经济挑战。尽管它作为最严重的咖啡害虫在整个热带地区长期广泛存在，但文献中关于浆果蛀虫生物学与其控制相关的几个基本方面仍然存在差异。在科纳咖啡种植园中，我们研究了甲虫对几种诱捕和诱饵配方的反应，并检查了咖啡农场附近替代寄主植物种子中甲虫的出现情况。虽然诱捕器每天可以捕获大量甲虫，而且甲虫在替代宿主中的出现相当罕见，但夏威夷咖啡文化的独特情况将使这种害虫在群岛上管理起来极具挑战性。
In August 2010 the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, was first reported to have invaded the Kona coffee growing region of Hawaii, posing a severe economic challenge to the fourth largest agricultural commodity in the State. Despite its long and widespread occurrence throughout the tropics as the most serious pest of coffee, there are still discrepancies in the literature regarding several basic aspects of berry borer biology relevant to its control. In Kona coffee plantations, we investigated the beetles’ response to several trap and lure formulations, and examined the occurrence of beetles in seeds of alternate host plants occurring adjacent to coffee farms. While traps were shown to capture significant numbers of beetles per day, and the occurrence of beetles in alternate hosts was quite rare, the unique situation of coffee culture in Hawaii will make this pest extremely challenging to manage in the Islands.
