“…Compared with traditional methods such as chemical pesticides, lamp trapping, and color plate trapping, insect sex attractants are environmentally friendly, easy to operate, and highly specific (Kouloussis et al, 2022; Millar et al, 2022). Cuelure (CL), 4‐(p‐acetoxyphenyl)‐2‐butanone, was first discovered by Beroza et al (1960) in organic synthesis experiments as an attractant for male Z. cucurbitae (Biswas et al, 2022; Guptaa & Regmib, 2022). Culcure is also effective against 56 related species, such as the Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) and Dacus ciliatus (Low), so it is considered an important attractant for monitoring fruit flies internationally (Arya et al, 2022; Yazdani, 2022).…”

Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) is an important fruit and vegetable pest, especially in high‐temperature seasons. In our previous research, we developed a temperature‐sensitive sustained‐release attractant for Z. cucurbitae, that not only can control the release rate of cuelure according to the temperature change, but also shows an excellent trapping effect on Z. cucurbitae. To further enhance the killing effect of the temperature‐sensitive attractant on Z. cucurbitae, this study proposed using it in combination with an insecticide to prepare a temperature‐sensitive insecticide for Z. cucurbitae. Based on the controlled release technology of pesticides, a temperature‐sensitive Z. cucurbitae insecticide was developed by using PNIPAM gel as a temperature‐sensitive switch to carry both cuelure and insecticide at the same time. In addition, the lethal effect of different pesticides on Z. cucurbitae were tested by indoor toxicity test, and the best pesticide combination was screened out. The temperature‐sensitive insecticide prepared in this study not only had excellent thermal response and controlled release ability, but also enhanced its toxicological effects on Z. cucurbitae because it contained insecticides. Among them, combining thiamethoxam and clothianidin with the temperature‐sensitive attractants was the most effective, and their lethality reached more than 97% against Z. cucurbitae. This study is not only of great practical significance for the monitoring and controlling Z. cucurbitae, but also provides theoretical basis and reference value for the combination of temperature‐sensitive attractant and insecticide.

“…By mixing male attractants with pesticides and spraying them on the field in large quantities, the "male-killing" technology of fruit flies, has been utilized to eradicate fruit fly pests on islands isolated from the mainland (Shelly et al, 2014). Cuelure [4-(p-Acetoxyphenyl)-2-butanone] (CUE) is a male attractant for Z. cucurbitae Coquillett, which was first discovered in 1960 by Beroza et al in a series of 4-phenyl -2-butanone isomers synthesized organically (Biswas et al, 2022). It not only enhances the sexual mating activity of male Z. cucurbitae Coquillett but also has the ability to attract male Z. cucurbitae Coquillett (Guptaa et al, 2022).…”

Cuelure (CUE) is an attractant mainly targeting fruit fly pests and is currently widely used for fruit fly monitoring and control. However, the release speed and time of CUE are not controllable, leading to a large amount of it being wasted, which not only reduces its effectiveness but also increases the cost of pest control. In order to prolong the use time of CUE, improve the utilization rate of the bait, and reduce the cost of pest control. Taking Zeugodacus cucurbitae Coquillett as the research object, we develop a temperature-sensitive cuelure nano-controlled release agent, which can control the release rate through the change of environmental temperature. The results show that the temperature-sensitive cuelure nano-controlled release agent not only exhibits good temperature-sensitive controlled release performance, but also shows excellent stability under high-temperature treatment at 60 °C for a week, and the trapping rate of the attractant is 73%-75%. This study not only has great practical significance for the monitoring, early warning, and control of fruit fly pests but also provides a new theoretical basis for the development of insect attractants.
