“…LC 80 /RLR max comparisons have been used for efficacy level estimations in previous toxicological studies . However, when testing a behaviour‐modifying compound such as flonicamid, with antifeedant activity, the induced effects may be slow to develop, and could be exhibited several days after exposure . For this reason, the efficacy of flonicamid on B. tabaci was also determined in cage experiments simulating the prolonged exposure that occurs under field conditions.…”

“…Despite these considerations, application of polygodial to autumn-sown barley effectively reduced aphid numbers and BYDV infection in the crop, and resulted in an increased yield (Pickett et al, 1987). A more judicious use of antifeedants would be as part of a 'push-pull' strategy (Smart et al, 1994), coupled to some means of population reduction such as a pathogen or highly-selective pesticide (Griffiths et al, 1991).…”

“…Pheromones perform most effectively when employed as part of an integrated control programme, where they can be used either indirectly for monitoring (Wall, 1989), or directly to manipulate pest populations (Griffiths et al, 1991). They offer the prospect of establishing contact with microbial control agents by attracting pests into an environment where these agents might be best preserved.…”

Abstract-Infochemicals play an important role in the biology of many insect species. An understanding of their role in plant-herbivore-carnivore interactions can be used in the development of tools for the enhancement of environmentally benign alternatives to synthetic pesticides. This review discusses how chemical information mediates ecological interactions between organisms and the role of infochemicals in integrated pest management. Infochemicals can be used in pest monitoring and in pest control, through mating disruption, mass trapping and to aggregate herbivores at delivery sites for biological control agents. Particular emphasis is placed on the potential of using pheromones and kairomones in the management of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a pest in plantations of East African highland banana and plantain in most banana-growing regions of the world. Cosmopolites sordidus produces an aggregation pheromone that attracts both males and females. This pheromone has been identified and synthesised and is being recommended as an effective agent in the trapping and control of the weevil. The synergism between banana plant extracts (kairomones) and the synthetic pheromone in attracting C. sordidus should be better exploited. Future research areas that can provide information for the development of an infochemical-based trapping system for the management of C. sordidus are discussed.Key Words: infochemicals, kairomones, aggregation pheromone, Coleoptera, banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, biological control, pathogenic fungi, predators, synergism Résumé-Les sémiochimiques jouent un rôle important dans la biologie de beaucoup d'espèces d'insectes. La compréhension de leurs rôles dans les interactions plante-herbivore-carnivore peutêtre utilisée pour le développement d'outils destinés à améliorer les techniques de luttes alternatives aux pesticides de synthèse. Cet article montre comment l'information chimique agit sur les interactions écologiques entre organismes et, discute du rôle des infochimiques dans la gestion intégrée des ravageurs. Les sémiochimiques peuvent être utilisés pour surveiller et contrôler les ravageurs, à l'aide de la technique de la confusion sexuelle et du piégeage de masse et pour rassembler les ravageurs en un lieu donné pour les agents de lutte biologique. Une attention particulière a été portée au rôle potentiel de l'utilisation des phéromones et des kairomones dans la gestion du charançon du bananier Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), un ravageur 242 W.
