Multiple state and county agencies are continuing the battle to prevent the coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB) from becoming established on Hawai‘i Island. On Aug. 25 and 26 as well as September 3 to 5, the team fumigated and hauled away 144 tons of potential CRB breeding-site material from a nursery in the Keāhole Agricultural Park (KAP). This massive fumigation operation follows up on the previous fumigation of green-waste material at the ag park site in mid-August. In late July, the first major CRB breeding site at KAP was found when an inspection team uncovered 110 late-stage CRB larvae and three adult CRB. The green-waste piles were immediately covered with a fumigation tarp to prevent further spread and later fumigated and removed for additional processing.
