“…By monitoring the occurrence of click beetle adults it may be possible to forecast the occurrence of wireworms and thus to determine the necessity of insecticide applications on a given field, resulting in reduced use of soil insecticide. Pheromone trapping would be an applicable method of monitoring, since females of adult click beetles emit long‐range sex pheromones, and for several pest species the chemical identity of the pheromone has been elucidated (B org ‐K arlson et al., 1988; S iirde et al., 1993; Y atsynin et al., 1996). Until now field trapping tests with synthetic pheromones have been largely conducted on click beetle populations in the European part of the former Soviet Union (Y atsynin and L ebedeva , 1984; Y atsynin et al., 1986; K udryavtsev et al., 1993).…”

In field screening tests in Hungary, traps baited with geranyl hexanoate captured males of the click beetle Agriotes rufipalpis Brullé, whereas in Italy males of Agriotes sordidus Illiger (Col., Elateridae) were captured. Geranyl hexanoate‐baited traps could be very useful in rationalizing the control of these pests. Such traps can give useful information without making expensive and time‐consuming samplings of the soil layers in search of larvae. Traps can be effective also in describing swarming patterns and identifying the peak of male activity, thus yielding an estimate of the level of adult populations, making it possible to forecast future outbreaks and to concentrate agronomic and chemical control strategies against the pests most effectively.

“…Pheromone gland extracts of A. lineatus contain large amounts of geranyl octanoate (Borg-Karlson et al 1988;Kudryavtsev et al 1993;Siirde et al 1993) and only trace amounts of the related geranyl butanoate (Yatsynin et al 1996a;Tóth et al 2003). A blend of 10:1 geranyl octanoate/ geranyl butanoate was found to be effective in field trapping of A. lineatus in many European countries (Tóth et al 2003).…”

Agriotes proximus and A. lineatus (Coleoptera: Elateridae): a comparative study on the pheromone composition and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequence

The presence of geranyl octanoate, previously found in pheromone gland extracts of Agriotes lineatus females, was also demonstrated in gland extracts of A. proximus females. Similar to A. lineatus, geranyl butanoate was present only in trace amounts in A. proximus female gland extracts. In air entrainment samples of female A. lineatus and A. proximus beetles, the relative ratio of geranyl butanoate and geranyl octanoate was higher than that in gland extracts. In addition, comparison of a segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene of feral specimens of A. lineatus and A. proximus showed [99% similarity. Both pheromone profile and nucleotide sequence analysis delineate close relationship between the investigated taxa and postulate taxonomic revision. Further studies on sympatric populations of A. lineatus and A. proximus are underway to investigate and better understand possible processes of species diversification.

Based on analysis of pheromone gland extracts, highly attractive new baits have been developed for three click beetle pests. That for Agriotes brevis is a mixture of geranyl butanoate and (E,E)-farnesyl butanoate, and that for A rufipalpis and A sordidus contains geranyl hexanoate alone. From known data from species populating Russia, optimized bait compositions for species in Central and Western Europe were developed as follows: geranyl octanoate + geranyl butanoate for A lineatus, geranyl isovalerate for A litigiosus, geranyl hexanoate + geranyl octanoate for A obscurus, geranyl butanoate alone for A sputator and (E,E)-farnesyl acetate alone for A ustulatus. Although slight differences were found in gland contents with A litigiosus var laichartingi and fenotypus typicus, nevertheless there were no differences in response to the optimum bait. There were no differences in pheromone composition or response to the optimized bait between the two morphological forms ('black' and 'red') of A ustulatus. As a result of these studies, highly effective pheromone baits are now available for monitoring and population reduction in all important pest click beetle species in Central and Western Europe.
