AWARD PURPOSE: TO SURVEY FOR THE PRESENCE OF KHAPRA BEETLE (TROGODERMA GRANARIUM) IN NEBRASKA. KHAPRA BEETLE IS ONE OF THE 100 WORST INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE WORLD CAUSING 70% GRAIN DAMAGE WHEN PRESENT. IT IS A PEST OF STORED GRAINS, GRAIN PRODUCTS, AND SEEDS. THIS LIMITS THE MARKETABILITY OF THE INFESTED PRODUCT AND CAN HAVE DEVASTATING FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PRODUCERS AND U.S STATE ECONOMIES. USDA PEST RISK ASSESSMENT RATED THE OVERALL RISK POTENTIAL FOR KHAPRA BEETLE INTRODUCTION TO THE U.S. AS HIGH. CURRENT U.S. QUARANTINE REGULATIONS LIST AT LEAST 31 COUNTRIES AS HAVING ENDEMIC POPULATIONS OF KHAPRA BEETLE. ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: APPROXIMATELY 220 SITES INCLUDING AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSES AND OTHER HIGH-RISK SITES (E.G. IMPORTERS AND SPECIALTY FOOD STORES WITH FOREIGN FOODS AND OTHER PRODUCTS) HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR POTENTIAL KHAPRA BEETLE TRAPPING. APPROXIMATELY 40 LOCATIONS WILL BE TRAPPED ON A ROTATIONAL BASIS FOR KHAPRA BEETLE EACH YEAR. THREE TRAPS WILL BE PLACED PER SITE, FOR UP TO 90 DAYS, AND WILL BE SERVICED EVERY 30 DAYS DURING THE SURVEY SEASON BY DESIGNATED AGRICULTURE INSPECTION SPECIALISTS.DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES:DATA WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE NAPIS DATABASE WHEN PEST IDENTIFICATION IS CONFIRMED AND/OR BECOMES AVAILABLE. GPS COORDINATES WILL BE RECORDED. SCREENING WILL BE DONE BY KYLE KOCH, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN AND SUSPECT SPECIMENS WILL BE SENT TO USDA-QUALIFIED IDENTIFIER. GEOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT WILL OCCUR BASED ON SURVEY DATA. INTENDED BENEFICIARY(IES): NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF AG, USDA-APHIS-PPQ, NEBRASKA GRAIN PRODUCERS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADING PARTNERS.
