“…Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in male C. nasturtii s. circumfila, and in male M. destructor s. trichodea, responded to female sex pheromone components, indicating that the most abundant male sensillum type in each species house pheromonesensitive OSNs. In the same study, a small number of receptors were found in the antennae of C. nasturtii males that responded only to stereoisomers of the pheromone which are not produced by females and which have an inhibitory effect on the behavioral response (Boddum et al, 2009).…”

“…All three components are important for attraction of the swede midge, C. nasturtii (Table 1, entry 8) (Hillbur et al, 2005, Boddum et al, 2009) and C. pisi (Table 1, entry 12) (Hillbur et al, 2000(Hillbur et al, , 2001. Although the major pheromone component of M. destructor (Table 1, entry 1) showed some activity in a wind tunnel, it was unattractive in field tests (Foster et al, 1991a).…”

“…It is a new invasive species in Canada and the USA (Hallett et al, 2009). Boddum et al (2009) described optimization of pheromone traps for C. nasturtii, and the traps are currently used for pest monitoring in Switzerland, Canada (Hallett et al, 2007), the United States, Germany, and Norway. Linear relationships between trap catches and larval infestations were found, and 3 years of trap catch and crop damage data were used to establish a preliminary damage threshold of 10 males/trap/week for kohlrabi and broccoli crops (Baur, 2005;Sauer, 2008).…”

“…The more volatile pheromone component of R. theobaldi, with an 11-carbon chain ( Table 1, entry 15), is released at 20-80 ng.h −1 from vials and septa under similar conditions ). Release of the major component of the the ratio of the three components remained relatively constant during this period (Boddum et al, 2009). Release rates of the 9-carbon dibutyrate pheromone of S. mosellana (Table 1, entry 11), from a range of dispensers, were measured by Bruce et al (2007).…”

The family of cecidomyiid midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) exhibits diversified patterns of life history, behavior, host range, population dynamics and other ecological traits. Those that feed on plants include many important agricultural pests; most cultivated plants are attacked by at least one midge species. Several features of the reproductive biology of cecidomyiid midges point to an important role for chemical communication, with this topic last reviewed comprehensively 12 years ago. Here, we review progress on identification of sex pheromones, chemicals involved in location of host plants, the neurophysiology of reception of volatile chemicals, and application of semiochemicals to management of pest species of cecidomyiid midges that has occurred during the last decade. We hope this review will stimulate and sustain further research in these fields.

The data revealed that rectangular traps containing pheromone blends combining both the monoester and the diester have a good potential to lure and trap adult males of S. singularis on cocoa farms. The pheromone blends used were specific for S. singularis, and the use of pheromone traps appears to be a promising strategy for incorporation into integrated pest management strategies for the monitoring or even the control of S. singularis in cocoa plantations.

BACKGROUND: The beetle Xylotrechus arvicola (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a serious pest of vineyards in the Iberian Peninsula. In previous work, the male beetles, but not females, were shown to produce (R)-3-hydroxy-2-hexanone, and female beetles were attracted to this compound in a laboratory bioassay. In this study, release rates of 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone from different dispensers were measured in the laboratory, and the attractiveness of these to X. arvicola adults was determined in trapping tests in three traditional wine-growing regions in Spain.RESULTS: As a result of laboratory experiments, for field experiments 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone was formulated as 100 L in a polyethylene sachet (50 mm × 50 mm × 250 m), and ethanol was formulated as 1 mL in a polyethylene press-seal bag (76 mm × 57 mm ×50 m). Field catches were similar at all three study sites. Catches in traps baited with 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone alone were not significantly different from those in unbaited control traps, but catches in traps baited with 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone and ethanol in separate sachets, with 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone and ethanol in the same sachet or with ethanol alone were significantly greater than those in control traps. These results confirm that the beetles are attracted to ethanol, and the addition of 3-hydroxy-2-hexanone does not seem to make any difference. CONCLUSIONS: Attraction of females for the male-produced compound (R)-3-hydroxy-2-hexanone has been observed in laboratory but not in field experiments. Traps baited with ethanol are highly attractive to both sexes of adults of X. arvicola, and these can be used for improved monitoring of the adult emergence and for population control by mass trapping.
