The plant pest A. planipennis is particularly harmful for ashes (Fraxinus spp.) and causes serious damage in native and invasive ranges. The appearance of agrophage in PRA area is only a matter of time (probably over the next two decades).

A. planipennis is climatic generalist. The pest occurence is limited by occurence of host plants – species of the genus Fraxinus. The entire PRA area is endangered.

Imported wood controls from area of pest occurence may reduce probability of introduction and spread. Probably all eradication measures will be insufficient in case of pest occurence in PRA area.
