Semiochemical-based pest management programs comprise three major approaches that are being used to provide environmentally friendly control methods of insect pests: mass trapping, “lure and kill,” mating disruption. In this article, we review the potential trapping in long-term as well eradication invasive species. We discuss similarities differences between other two main semiochemical-based programs. highlight several study cases where has been either [e.g., codling moth, Cydia pomonella...
Summary 1. Scientists have been fascinated by carnivorous plants for centuries and they thoroughly investigated how these can benefit from insect capture example through increased growth, earlier flowering, seed production. How prey is actually lured into the traps, however, less well understood. Trapping may be achieved in a random way, camouflaging traps (hiding them surrounding vegetation), so that trapped accidental landing on trap leaves or wind drift, other extreme, trapping involve...
The volatile compounds emanating from four fermented sugar baits, palm sugar, golden cane syrup, port wine, and molasses, were isolated by headspace sampling analyzed gas chromatography−mass spectrometry. Three classes of including esters, alcohols, aromatic identified in the baits. There was a high degree qualitative similarity between contents although quantitatively they varied considerably. Ethyl acetate, 3-methylbutanol, ethyl hexanoate, 2-phenylethanol, octanoate, (E)-4-decenoate,...
Abstract Plants release volatiles in response to caterpillar feeding that attract natural enemies of the herbivores, a tri-trophic interaction which has been considered an indirect plant defence against herbivores. The caterpillar-induced have reported repel or conspecific adult To date however, no volatile signals either adults under field conditions chemically identified. Apple seedlings uniquely released seven compounds including acetic acid, anhydride, benzyl alcohol, nitrile, indole,...
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common vascular complication of diabetes Miletus (DM) that require weight control and dietary restrictions, especially for protein. A protein-restricted diet with ketoacid analogs (KA) reduces the intake nitrogen while avoiding harmful consequences inadequate protein intake. This study aimed to investigate efficacy safety protein-free in chronic kidney disease (CKD)-affected diabetic rats. Sixty adult male albino rats were grouped into six equal groups (G): G...
Abstract The identification of sex pheromones in native New Zealand moths has been limited, largely due to their minimal pest impact on agricultural ecosystems. kōwhai moth, Uresiphita polygonalis maorialis , a crambid, is known for its herbivory Sophora spp. and Lupinus arboreus leaves. Understanding the chemical ecology this species essential studying behavior, population dynamics, ecological interactions. In study, female pheromone U. was analyzed using coupled gas...
BACKGROUND The identification of new attractants can present opportunities for developing mass trapping, but standard screening methods are needed to expedite this. We have developed a simple approach based on quantifying trap interference in 4 × arrays with different spacings. discuss results from sex pheromones Lepidoptera (light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana), Diptera (apple leaf curling midge, Dasineura mali) and Homoptera (citrophilous mealybug, Pseudococcus calceolariae),...
The volatile compounds emitted from uninfested apple seedlings, cv. Royal Gala, and seedlings infested with generalist herbivore Epiphyas postvittana larvae were sampled using headspace collection analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Nine additional only detected in [including benzyl alcohol, (E)-β-ocimene, cyanide, indole, (E)-nerolidol, four unidentified compounds]. Infested produced larger amounts of (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, linalool, 4,8-dimethyl-1,3(E),7-nonatriene, methyl...
Abstract Plants release volatiles in response to caterpillar feeding that attracts natural enemies of the herbivores, a tritrophic interaction which has been considered be an indirect plant defence against herbivores. On other hand, caterpillar‐induced have reported either repel or attract conspecific adult This work was undertaken investigate both herbivores and apple orchards. We sampled volatile compounds emitted from uninfested trees, trees infested with generalist herbivore pandemis...
Abstract Insect-pollinated carnivorous plants are expected to have higher fitness if they resolve pollinator-prey conflicts by sparing insects pollinating their flowers while trapping prey insects. We examined whether separation between and traps of the sundew species or pollinator preferences for colours enable these spare pollinators. In addition, we collected odours from each in order identify volatile chemicals that attractive repellent pollinators Drosera spatulata D. arcturi , no...
The flowers of Canada thistle, Cirsium arvense (L.), attract a wide range insects, including pollinators and herbivorous species. This attraction is primarily mediated by floral odor, which offers potential for developing generic insect attractants based on odor. In this study, we have analyzed the chemical composition volatiles produced thistle flowers. Nineteen compounds were identified in headspace, phenylacetaldehyde (55%), methyl salicylate (14%), dimethyl (8%), pyranoid linalool oxide...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The behavioural response of both sexes codling moth, Cydia pomonella to the pear‐derived kairomone (ethyl (2E,4Z)‐2,4‐decadienoate), moth sex pheromone ( E , ‐8,10‐dodecadien‐1‐ol), and combined with pear derived loaded into red rubber septum were investigated in trapping experiments New Zealand apple orchards. A range 0.01–10.0 mg loading dispensers was tested highest catch males traps baited 1.0 mg. No dose trap seen different amounts (0.01–10.0 mg). RESULTS: number...

Two glasshouse trials in a capsicum crop near Warkworth New Zealand January 2011 and two field nectarine orchard Lleida Spain July 2013 were undertaken to determine if trap capture of Frankliniella occidentalis (western flower thrips WFT) Thrips tabaci (onion OT) could be increased by alternative volatile compounds beyond the known attractant methyl isonicotinate (MI) On blue sticky board traps none six tested caught more (mostly WFT OT other species) than Control In contrast MI catches with...
