“…In addition, plant-based attractants, which are not harmful to the environment or organisms, should be further developed and used [34,35]. Herbivorous insects can recognize and locate host plants by the volatile odors released by the plants [36]. Studies on coleopteran insects have shown that 3-carene and nonanal are plant-derived pheromones that stimulate oviposition in Anoplophora glabripennis [37].…”

Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is an invasive alien species that is widely distributed in northern China. H. cunea now occurs for the first time in the subtropical areas of China. Despite the importance of identifying oviposition host plants to control the spread of H. cunea, it is not clear whether H. cunea has a new oviposition preference for plant hosts in the new habitat after invading the subtropical region. At the same time, whether the presence of new plant volatiles of new hosts in new habitats influences the oviposition host preference of H. cunea has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the oviposition host plant preferences of H. cunea in the subtropical region of China. In the presence of multiple potential host plants, we found, for the first time, that H. cunea preferred Carya illinoinensis, Morus alba, and Carya cathayensis for oviposition. Through the effects on plant volatiles and on the oviposition, ten volatile compounds with significant differences in relative abundance between five plants with different fitness levels were significantly correlated with the oviposition preference of females. Cis-Hex-3-en-1-ol, (E)-3-Hexen-1-ol, cis-3-Hexenyl acetate 1, and 3-Pentadiene,4-methyl, had a significant positive correlation with the adult oviposition preference. Our results provide an important research basis for the study of green prevention and control strategies of subtropical H. cunea in China.

Background: Yerba-mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is a perennial native tree from South America. Improper management of yerba-mate crops results in low yield. This work evaluated the recovery and the vegetative capacity of the crop after coppicing. Methods: A 2-year field observation approach was used and the study area was monitored from 2019 to 2021 in a 20-year-old yerba-mate crop with low yield. Drastic coppicing was used as a strategy, aiming to study the effect of the month and the height of pruning. Four groups were defined combining the trunk heights of 10 and 40 cm and the months of pruning June and August. Results: Yerba-mate plants showed a low mortality rate of 2%. In the first year after the intervention, the height of the cutting was the most important factor that influenced the amount of primary and secondary branches, validating response surfaces with r2 values of 0.9942 and 0.9084, respectively. In the second year of the experiment, full recovery in productivity was reached, with a mean rise of 109.7% in the plants of the group coppiced in June 40 cm above the soil. Conclusion: The techniques used in this study are appropriate for vigor recovery in yerba-mate plants inadequately managed and allow a new architecture on plants, enabling mechanical harvesting.
