“…Similar results were observed in a study on courtship behavior in Lysiphlebus testaceipes males 24 . Traps baited with Ethyl (Z)-9-hexadecenoate (B) trapped male Xanthopimpla at all concentrations 25 . It is also observed that Ethyl (Z)-9-hexadecenoate (B) traps captured 71.5% more male Xanthopimpla predator than the traps baited with Tetradecyl acetate (A).…”

Mating disruption by an artificial release of synthetic female pheromone components like Tetradecyl acetate (A), Ethyl (Z)-9hexadecenoate (B) and a mixture of these two at different concentrations is a feasible method to control Xanthopimpla predator. Male Xanthopimpla predator was evaluated for responses to these synthetic pheromone components in a laboratory wind tunnel and in Terminalia arjuna field. Septa loaded with different concentrations (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mg) of Tetradecyl acetate (A), Ethyl (Z)-9-hexadecenoate (B), A and B blend in 1:1 ratio (C) has disrupted the male Xanthopimpla predator orientation in the wind tunnel and blend with 1.0 mg had shown more attraction towards Xanthopimpla predator. Mating disruption efficacy in tasar field was evaluated in first, second and third crops with 16 traps in each crop. In all crops, 5 traps baited with pheromone loads of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mg of Tetradecyl acetate, 5 traps with Ethyl (Z)-9-hexadecenoate and 5traps with a blend of both in 1:1 ratio. One blank control trap without any type of solvent is used in all three crops. Traps baited with a blend of 1.0 mg concentration caught more males than Tetradecyl acetate (A) and Ethyl (Z)-9hexadecenoate (B). The infestation rate is least in the cocoons reared on Terminalia plantation with traps baited with A and B blend (1.0 mg) followed by Ethyl (Z)-9-hexadecenoate (B) traps, Tetradecyl acetate (A) traps and control traps.

“…Recent works show that the use of ascoviruses (Smede et al, 2008;Furlong & Sassan, 2010) and synthetic sex pheromones (Adati et al, 2013) were effective for killing larvae and trapping adult moths. The egg parasitoid, Trichogramma chilonis Ishii (Uelese et al, 2014) is also a potential biological control agent for C. pavonana.…”

The large cabbage moth, Crocidolomia pavonana (F.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is one of the most significant pests of Brassica crops and has re-emerged as a serious pest of crucifer crops in tropical and sub-tropical Asia because of the control used against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). The damage caused by this pest can be significant because larvae devour young tissues of the plant at different stages and bore into the centre of the cabbage head at maturity and can damage the whole cabbage plant. Despite its economic importance the interaction of this pest with its host plant is not well understood.The current study showed that larval feeding by C. pavonana was influenced by the presence of cabbage in artificial diet, in laboratory bioassays. Of the four diets developed and tested, neonates survived and completed developmental stages (81%) on diet containing cabbage (Brassica oleracea cv sugarloaf) more so than on base diet (diet without cabbage), diet containing wheat grass or spinach powder. Neonates were able to locate diet with cabbage powder but not when cabbage was absent (i.e. base diet).Similarly, in an olfactometer test, neonates were strongly attracted to the odour of diet with cabbage compared with diet without cabbage. More than twice the number of feeding events was observed on filter paper disks impregnated with diet containing cabbage powder than on paper disks with base diet. The behavioural responses of neonates to diet with cabbage are linked to the glucosinolates present on cabbage plants. Sinigrin elicited feeding when added to diet without cabbage and also when applied to a non-host plant, Gossypium hirsutum (Sicot 71RRF). Neonates' response to allyl isothiocyanate in a twoarm olfactometer was stronger than to sinigrin, which would explain larval attraction to damaged cabbage plants. These results indicate that sinigrin and allyl isothiocyanate provide important feeding and olfactory cues for C. pavonana larvae.Larval feeding and moth oviposition behaviour of C. pavonana was further studied using whole cabbage plants of two different ages (6 and 8-leaf stage) and this was compared to the response of a well-studied crucifer specialist, P. xylostella. Plant age did not significantly affect oviposition and feeding preference by C. pavonana whereas P. xylostella preferred younger plants for oviposition and larval feeding. The intra-plant distribution of eggs and feeding sites was similar for both species, but egg distribution showed a pattern different from feeding sites. Neonates that hatched from eggs deposited ii on lower leaves moved towards the apical portion of the plant and established a majority of feeding sites on younger leaves. Preference for younger leaves was also observed on excised leaves, indicating architectural position was not the factor driving choice. Younger leaves are known to have a higher concentration of nitrogen content and proteins suitable for larval development, whereas lower leaves are considered not palatable b...
