Beetle population in the study area was high and spontaneous attacks were expected to occur on the pruned trees. Half of the trees were baited with split pine bolts in order to attract more beetles to attack these trees. Thus experimental trees carrying one-third of their original foliage and with different vigour indices due to the pruning history were exposed to 2 levels of beetle attack. The pine shoot beetles preferentially attacked baited trees whereas attack rates did not differ between pruning dates. Six wk after attack beetle performance was better in trees pruned shortly before attack than in trees pruned earlier. Vigour indices differed between the 2 treatments but phloem starch secondary resinosis expressed as lesion size and resin acid content and tree survival did not. Trees that eventually survived were significantly less attacked than those that died but the 2 groups did not differ in tree characteristics except in cambial electrical resistance . pine shoot beetles Pinus sylvestris I beetle performance defence reactions host vitality Resume Susceptibilité du pin Sylvestre aux attaques de Tomicus piniperda L en fonction de la date d elagage et de la densité d attaque.
