两种性信息素诱捕器对棉铃虫雄蛾的诱捕效果比较

1995年在山东和安徽棉区4个地点比较研究了性信息素笼罩诱捕器和水盆诱捕器对棉铃虫雄蛾的诱捕效果。试验结果表明,4地点笼罩诱蛾量分别是水盆诱蛾量的2.8、3.5、2.5和2.0倍,平均2.7倍。两种诱捕器诱蛾量倍数的变异系数分别为22.9%、31.5%、50.7%和51.2%。可见笼罩诱捕器比水盆诱捕器对棉铃虫雄虫具有更高的诱捕效率。考虑到笼罩诱捕器高效、稳定及简便,建议在我国尽快用其取代水盆进行棉铃虫成虫的标准化监测。

湖北高海拔地区性信息素对小菜蛾的诱捕和防治效果

2002年应用性诱剂对海拔1 200 m山区甘蓝田小菜蛾的发生及防治进行了研究。在第一茬蔬菜生长期有2个诱蛾高峰,诱蛾量(头/盆)分别为11.7±2.4和9.2±1.0;第二茬蔬菜生长期有3个诱蛾高峰,诱蛾量(头/盆)分别为70.9±8.0、16.1±2.5和11.1±1.9。应用性诱剂诱捕山区甘蓝田小菜蛾时,第一茬田间蛾密度与单盆诱捕量相关性不显著,而第二茬菜生长期田间蛾密度与单盆诱蛾量相关性显著(y=0.0116x+0.1614, r=0.9213, P=0.0011)。性诱剂在光期与暗期都可诱到小菜蛾雄虫, 没有明显的诱蛾高峰。应用性诱剂可以使菜田的农药使用减少3～5次,降低田间子代幼虫密度。     

强大小蠹植物源引诱剂林间应用技术

20 0 1～ 2 0 0 2年在山西省榆次区庆城林场对自行研制生产的强大小蠹DendroctomusvalensLeConte植物引诱剂诱芯和诱捕器在林间的应用技术进行了研究 ,并在山西省的 1 3个县、林场悬挂 2 0 0 0个诱捕器开展了强大小蠹发生期监测和大面积诱杀防治推广试验工作。结果显示 ,该诱捕技术对强大小蠹成虫有较好的诱捕效果 ,2 0 0 0个诱捕器在成虫羽化期 61d共诱到大小蠹成虫近 2 0万头 ,可明显降低当代成虫虫口密度。试验表明 ,诱虫数量随林地虫口密度增加而增大 ,诱捕器设置高度对诱虫量有一定影响 ,以悬挂在主干下端距地面 5～ 1 0cm处效果最好。诱捕器之间水平距离建议间隔 1 0 0m为好。     

性信息素、黑光灯和杨树枝把在棉铃虫成虫监测中的作用

1997年在南疆棉区 3个地点研究了性信息素、黑光灯和杨树枝把对棉铃虫成虫的诱捕效果。试验结果表明 ,性信息素笼罩诱捕器的诱蛾量分别是黑光灯和杨枝把的 9 5和 2 5 4倍 ,性信息素水盆诱捕器的诱蛾量是杨枝把的 1 4 4倍。经统计分析 ,以上倍数随发蛾量的增大有上升趋势 ,即在发蛾量大时性信息素的诱捕效果进一步提高。考虑到笼罩诱捕器的高效、稳定和简易 ,作者希望在我国尽快将其用于进行棉铃虫成虫的标准化监测。     

三种性信息素诱捕器对烟田棉铃虫的诱捕效果比较

比较了笼罩、水盆、盘式粘胶诱捕器对烟田棉铃虫的诱捕效果。结果表明,3种诱捕器的诱蛾量变化趋势基本一致,其中笼罩诱捕器的诱蛾量最大,显著高于另外两种诱捕器,且诱捕效果比较稳定。水盆、盘式粘胶诱捕器诱蛾量差异不显著。笼罩诱捕器更适用于烟田棉铃虫成虫的防治及监测。     

马尾松毛虫性信息素在不同类型诱芯中的稳定性

顺5,反7-十二碳二烯醇、顺5,反7-十二碳二烯乙酸酯和顺5,反7-十二碳二烯丙酸酯是马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus性信息素的主要成分。为研究如何减少上述共轭二烯信息素成分中的几何构型异构化和氧化的发生,作者制备了几种不同剂型的诱芯并进行了田间诱蛾试验。与常用的天然橡胶诱芯相比,诱芯中加入抗氧化剂（topanol CA）、提高性信息素的纯度、每5天重新更换诱芯及将载体换为硅橡胶等处理均不能明显提高诱芯的诱蛾效果,然而载体为复合橡胶（氯化丁基橡胶和天然橡胶的混合体）的诱芯诱蛾效率比天然橡胶诱芯提高了1倍以上。田间试验后,用毛细柱气相色谱对不同类型诱芯中残留的信息素及其异构体的分析结果显示：复合橡胶诱芯中只有12%～16%的不同信息素成分发生了异构化,而在天然橡胶诱芯中此值高达69%～87%。而且前者中信息素及其异构体的剩余量是后者的4倍。这些结果表明,复合橡胶诱芯之所以具有较高的诱效,主要由于在这种诱芯中,共轭二烯信息素更稳定,释放速率较为缓慢且均匀。     

人工合成草地螟雌蛾性信息素的初步筛选

在初步筛选过程中,主要成份反11十四碳烯醋酸酯(E1114:AC)能引起草地螟Loxostege sticticaiis L.雄蛾完成从兴奋到搜索释放源的行为,但雄蛾对单个组分E1114:AL、E1114:OH、14:OH、14:AC、12:OH不呈现任何反应。当释放源为二元组分或三元组分时,可以明显增加雄蛾定向飞行和达到释放源的数量。筛选出二元组分为(E1114:AC):(E1114:AL)=1:1和三元组分(E1114:AC):(E1114:AL):(14:OH)=5:3:12时效果最佳。田间试验中进一步筛选出三元组分(E1114:AC):(E1114:AL):(14:OH)=5:3:12为最佳组分。     

Field evaluation of potential of alarm pheromone compounds to enhance baits for control of grass-cutting ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Leaf-cutting ants are important economic pests of the Neotropics, and the most common method of control involves the use of insecticidal baits. Baits that are currently available exhibit low attractiveness to grass-cutting species, thus there is a need to develop improved baits. The potential for using alarm pheromone compounds to enhance the attractiveness and subsequent harvest of baits was examined for two economically important species of grass-cutting ant, Atta bisphaerica (Forel) and Atta capiguara (Goncalves). Compounds of the alarm pheromone were applied to rubber septa that were then sealed inside plastic sachets together with citrus pulp-based bait. The best candidate compound for bait enhancement was 4-methyl-3-heptanone. This compound significantly increased the attractiveness of bait sachets to both species. It also appeared to improve the discovery of nearby unenhanced sachets. However, 4-methyl-3-heptanone resulted in only a slight and non-significant improvement in bait harvest. Enhanced and unenhanced bait sachets were applied at a number of positions to obtain an improvement in harvest, but without success. The possible reasons for the lack of an enhancement of harvest and the potential for using alarm pheromone compounds as leaf-cutting ant bait enhancers are discussed.     

Increasing Attractiveness of Baits with Venom Gland Extract for Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

The effect of larval cuticle extract (larval pheromone) and venom gland extract (trail pheromone) on transport of formulated baits by Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel) was studied in the field and under laboratory conditions. In the laboratory, we observed the transport to the nest of baits impregnated with 10???L of venom gland extract (0.01 gland/bait) or 10???L of larval cuticle extract (0.05 larva/bait). The most transported impregnated bait was then tested in the field placing rubber septa impregnated with 100?mL of extract or with 100?mL of solvent with the baits at 0.2, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0?m away from the trail and from the nest entrance. Baits impregnated with venom gland extract were transported more often than baits formulated with larval cuticle extract. In field tests, the venom gland extract reduced the time required for ants to detect baits and increased the transport of baits displayed at 0.2?m from the foraging trail or nest entrance. The increase in the transport of impregnated baits and the lower time to be transported might help to reduce the loss of bait in the field and decrease the risk of active ingredient contacts with non-target species.     

Effect of trap design, trap size and pheromone dose on male capture of two pine bast scales species (Hemiptera: Matsucoccidae): implications for monitoring and mass-trapping

Abstract 1 The effects of pheromone dose, trap size and trap design on the capture of male Matsucoccus feytaudi were studied in maritime pine forests of Portugal, France and Italy, and Matsucoccus josephi in Aleppo pine stands of Israel. 2 Males of both species respond to racemic mixtures of the respective sex pheromone at a dosage as low as 25 µg. However, for low population densities of M. feytaudi, a 50 µg dosage was needed to guarantee male catches significantly different from the control trap. 3 Male capture increased with increasing dosage up to a threshold level for both species. Overdose repellence was not observed even with baits containing 1600 and 2200 µg of the pheromone of M. josephi and M. feytaudi, respectively. 4 For M. feytaudi, a higher dose–response was observed at medium population densities, whereas lesser captures were registered at low and high population densities, suggesting female competition in the latter case. 5 Catches of M. feytaudi males were not affected by trap design, whereas M. josephi males were caught in significantly greater numbers in delta traps. Large traps caught significantly more males of both species. 6 The relative higher male catches in the marginal zone of the sticky traps is probably related to males landing behaviour in the vicinity of the pheromone source. 7 The shape and size of the trap did not affect the bias of the estimates of male catches. However, the plate traps provided higher precision. Both bias and precision improved with increasing dose.     

Migration potential of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus

• 1 The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major pest in banana (Musa spp.) growing areas. The weevil is known to be relatively sedentary and closely associated with its host plant but little is known about the species' ability to migrate between banana fields and in nonhost habitats.
• 2 Mark–recapture experiments were conducted to assess the weevils' migration potential, possible differences between the sexes, and the relative attractiveness of pseudostem and pheromone baits.
• 3 One thousand two hundred marked weevils were released in the nonhost habitat at five distances (5, 10, 20, 40 and 70 m) from fresh pseudostem, and from pitfall traps baited with 45 mg of sordidin.
• 4 Two hundred males and 200 females were marked and released at five distances (5, 10, 20, 40 and 70 m) from the pheromone traps.
• 5 Distance and distance/bait interactions had a significant effect on recaptured weevils (binary logistic regression). The two baits were almost equally attractive to weevils in the range 0–10 m, whereas the pheromone was more attractive in the range 10–100 m.
• 6 Distance, bait and distance/bait interactions had a significant effect on the time elapsed from release to recapture (regression with life data) but the pattern observed was not consistent.
• 7 There was no significant difference between males and females with respect to distance or time elapsed from release to recapture.
• 8 The results obtained in the present study show that the migration potential of the banana weevil is greater than previously reported. This should be taken into account when new banana fields are established with clean planting material.

     

Intended and unintended receivers of the male pheromones of the burying beetles Nicrophorus humator and Nicrophorus vespilloides

Male Nicrophorus beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae) attract females through volatiles that are emitted at species‐specific times of day. Not only beetles of the opposite sex but also conspecific males are attracted. Another observation is the co‐attraction of congeners, a phenomenon that was shown in particular for Nicrophorus vespilloides Herbst, the smallest Nicrophorus species in Central Europe. In the current study, we identified the Nicrophorus humator Gleditsch male pheromone as methyl 4‐methyloctanoate through gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis. In field experiments, we tested and compared the attractiveness of synthetic analogs of the male pheromones of N. humator and N. vespilloides in baited pitfall traps. An asymmetric cross‐attraction to the synthetic male pheromones was observed, which is best explained by the skewed competitive relationship of the two species, with regard to the restricted availability of breeding resources. Nicrophorus humator is attracted by both its own male pheromone and by the pheromone of the smaller N. vespilloides, whereas N. vespilloides is almost exclusively attracted by its own male pheromone. The observed attraction of conspecific males of either species to male pheromone baits can be explained by both competition for females and competition for breeding resources.     

Control of Ichneumonoptera chrysophanes (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) by mating disruption in persimmons

Abstract A ca 0.62 ha block of 480 persimmon trees at Woombye, Queensland, was treated with the pheromone of Ichneumonoptera chrysophanes emitted from polyethylene dispensers placed at a rate equivalent to 1480/ha early in September 2000. A second block of 219 trees was left untreated and served as the control. The technique was assessed using traps to measure the ability of I. chrysophanes males to locate synthetic pheromone baits, and by the incidence of fresh damage detected during December and June surveys of a minimum of 67 trees in each block. Pheromone release rates were determined approximately weekly by measuring the amount of pheromone remaining in a sample of 10 dispensers suspended within the treated block. A second orchard at Amamoor, Queensland, was partly treated with pheromone applied at a similar rate, but was monitored only in terms of trap catch. No assessments were made of damage levels. Mean pheromone-release rates ranged from 15.8 to 1.6 mg/ha/h. Over the entire period of the trial, from 8 September 2000 to 27 June 2001, no males were caught in any of the 12 traps in the pheromone-treated block of the Woombye orchard, while 944 were caught in the five traps in the untreated block. The proportion of trees with fresh damage was significantly higher in the untreated block (0.188 and 0.567; December and June surveys, respectively) than in the treated block (0.027 and 0.205), although there was no significant difference between treatments in the mean number of strikes/infested tree in either survey. In the Amamoor orchard no moths were caught in any of the 32 traps in the treated blocks, compared with a total of 303 in the 13 traps in the untreated block.     

Sex pheromone traps for monitoring the codling moth: effect of dispenser type, field aging of dispenser, pheromone dose and type of trap on male captures

The effects of dispenser type, dispenser aging in the field, pheromone dose in the dispenser and trap type on trapping efficiency of codling moth,Cydia pomonella (L.), males were investigated in Israel. An Israeli-manufactured rubber septum was significantly better than the CM Pherocon cap in attracting males to a Pherocon 1C cap trap or an IPS trap. The effect of aging of the dispenser in the field on trapping efficiency was significant in CM Pherocon caps and the Israeli septa. Captures in traps were negatively correlated with aging of septa. The effect of aging of dispensers was more marked during summer than during spring. The fairly rapid loss of attractancy indicates that the lures should be replaced after 2 weeks at the most. The release rate of the pheromone from the dispensers was measured in a flow system. The emission from the Israeli septa and Pherocon caps decreased sharply after 2 weeks and then was almost constant, which explains the lower attractancy of aged septa. However, there was a marked difference in the release profiles of the pheromone from the two types of dispensers, which may explain the different performance of the two dispensers. Within the range of 0.1 to 100 μg pheromone per dispenser, male response increased positively with the pheromone dose. Pheromone loadings of 100 or 1000 μg per dispenser did not differ significantly in their attractiveness for males. A load of 5000 μg per dispenser was significantly less attractive to males than was 100 or 1000 μg per dispenser. The non-sticky IPS trap was significantly better in capturing codling moth males than was the sticky, commonly used Pherocon 1C trap, provided it was baited with the Israeli dispenser. The two traps were equally effective when baited with the CM Pherocon caps. The possibility of using the non-sticky, nonsaturating and easy-to-handle IPS traps for monitoring codling moth is of great importance.

Behaviour of the bark beetle, Ips grandicollis, during host selection

ABSTRACT. Equal numbers of dispersing Ips grandicollis adults were caught on sticky traps held on susceptible and resistant Pinus radiata trees. When beetles were attracted to the same set of trees using baits of ipsenol (aggregation pheromone), some of the beetles that landed on the boles of the trees bored into the bark. The subsequent response of the tree determined whether the tree was accepted or rejected. In resistant trees, the exudation of resin prevented continued boring and led to the retreat of the beetles. In susceptible trees, continued boring led to the establishment of the beetles. Ipsenol was not detected in males that retreated after boring into resistant trees. Beetles that bored into P. radiata logs obtained from slash, continued to bore into the bark, due to the absence of any of the resistance mechanisms; ipsenol was detected in such males. Extracts of groups of male beetles caught from the dispersing population on pheromone-baited traps, contained little or no ipsenol.
