Verbenone and trans-conophthorin were tested against the aggregation pheromone of the six-toothed bark beetle (Ips sexdentatus Boern.) on two trapping bioassays. Two different release rates of verbenone (2 mg/24 h and 40 mg/24 h) gave similar significant catch reductions (by 73% and 82%, respectively), whereas trans-conophthorin lowered the catch by 45%. Joint release of both compounds reduced trap catches by 90%. Furthermore, the effect of these semiochemicals on Thanasimus formicarius L. and Temnoscheila coerulea Olivier, two important natural enemies of I. sexdentatus, as well as Hylurgus ligniperda Fabricius, a native associated scolytid, was evaluated. Both predators were significantly affected by verbenone, whereas the effect on H. ligniperda could not be concluded. Based on these results, verbenone was used in a third experiment to protect standing healthy Pinus nigra salzmannii J. F. Arnold trees from induced I. sexdentatus attack. The experiment consisted of two treatments and 20 paired-tree replicates. Treatments were pheromone-baited control trees and baited trees treated with verbenone (60 mg/24 h). These trees served as centres of 10 m radius plots from where a number of plot variables was recorded for local stand description. After the experimental period, all control trees had suffered attacks by I. sexdentatus, whereas trees treated with verbenone were significantly less attacked. Among other stand variables considered in the study, the following characterized the variation among plots most efficiently: (i) plot density, (ii) dominant height and (iii) the proportion of suppressed or (iv) intermediate dominance level trees in the plot. However, these variables did not significantly affect the repellent effect by verbenone. Further research should evaluate the use of verbenone on management strategies of ongoing attacks of I. sexdentatus.
