Abstract

Kalotermes flavicollis is a serious pest in southern Spanish vineyards. The development of this termite is hidden inside galleries excavated along the wood of the vines. Dispersion is by the sexual adults, which emerge in autumn between September and November. These winged individuals constitute the main target to control the pest in integrated production. A logistic model based on the relationship existing between catches in sticky traps over 4 years and degree–days has been fitted for this termite in sherry vineyards in Andalucía. The results show that, above 548 accumulated degree–days, approximately 50% of winged individuals emerge. This information can help farmers to take control decisions.
