Evidence for the presence of a Kairomone in Corcyra cephalonica Staint. larvae for Bracon brevicornis Wesm. (Hymen., Braconidae)

Abstract: Hexane extract of the cuticle of the larvae of Corcyra cephalonica Stainton elicited host seeking response by the females of Bracon brevicornis Wesmael. The response of the female parasitoid varied with age and optimum response was obtained in 7–12 day old females. The kairomone loses its activity with time and 50% loss of the biological activity took place in 66 h. The loss of biological activity of the extract diluted serially was found to be linear and extract lost 50% of its biological activity when dilute… Show more
