Salt Lake City: IUFROc2014  ap. 485  aThe bronze bug is a major pest of Eucalyptus tree plantations worldwide. The fi rst outbreak of this species in Uruguay was reported in summer 2008. Soon after that, a monitoring network was installed throughout the country by using yellow rectangular sticky traps (10 cm × 12.5 cm) attached to a tree trunk at 1.80 m and replaced monthly. Five to nine traps were established in more than forty monitoring stations on forestry plantations covering different ages, densities, and Eucalyptus species. Here results are shown for 4 years of monitoring in two permanent monitoring stations. Captures start to increase by the end of October, reaching a peak in late summer (March–April) and then decrease to almost disappear by July–September. This seasonality is consistent with temperature, although peaks differ slightly among Eucalyptus species. Eucalyptus benthamii presented earlier and higher captures than the extensively planted species E. grandis and E. dunnii. Local rainfall during summer also affected abundance of the bronze bug. The authors discuss the implications of these fi nding for the development of an integrated management strategy for the bronze bug.  aCONTROL BI0LOGICO  aEUCALYPTUS  aPLAGAS FORESTALES1 aGOMEZ, D.1 aCENTURION, C.1 aREYNA, R.1 aGONZALEZ, A.1 aAMARAL, L.1 aREGUSCI, A.
