Electroantennogram (EAG), Y-tube olfactometer, and wind tunnel bioassays were conducted to test the electrophysiological and behavioral responses of Cryptorrhynchus lapathi L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to six individual volatiles and seven essential oils (compounded volatiles). The aim of this study was to select effective plant compounds that can be used in the development of semiochemicalbased push-pull methods for the control of this harmful insect. Male and female C. lapathi displayed strong EAG responses to linoleic acid, a-pinene, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, geraniol, turpentine oil, and salicylaldehyde. Y-tube olfactometer assays indicated that salicylaldehyde and a-pinene elicited strong repellent effects on female C. lapathi. Linoleic acid and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol showed greater luring effects on male and female C. lapathi compared with the control. Turpentine oil was stronger repellent, and geraniol showed stronger luring effects on male C. lapathi than the control. Wind tunnel assays with both male and female C. lapathi indicated that salicylaldehyde, a-pinene, and turpentine oil elicited repellent effects compared with the control. Linoleic acid, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, and geraniol were stronger lures of both male and female C. lapathi than the control. These results provide a basis for the further development of C. lapathi luring and repellent agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
