Several research aiming at getting ready some adult population monitoring systems are being carried out to establish an exact correlation between the capture of adults and the infestation of chestnuts with C. propinquus. To this purpose, cross traps in different colours (red, yellow, blue, transparent), activated with alcohol denatured with toluene or not activated have been placed. The experiments have been carried out in two different biotypes in the surroundings of Viterbo. The results show a low extent of captures and a consequent modest fruit infestation in the chestnut wood located in Vallerano (<5%), while a fair amount of captures was reported in the highly infested area (40%) located in Carbognano. Yet no significant differences ...
