Abstract

The objective of this study was to characterize the damage caused by Oncideres saga in plantations of Acacia mearnsii. The percentage of trees attacked was evaluated and  the diameter and length of the branches were measured. It was observed that 34.3 % of the trees of A. mearnsii presented branches cut by O. saga. The average diameter and length of the cut branches were 5.75 cm and 4.95 m, respectively. The lower third of the girdled branches showed 64.23% of the posture incisions.
