| field-testing of synthetic herbivore-induced plant volatiles as attractants for beneficial insects. | seven synthetic herbivore-induced plant volatiles (hipvs) and a mixture of nonanal + (z)-3-hexen-1-ol were field tested for their ability to attract beneficial insects in an open cotton field. eleven species of the main natural enemies of insect pests in cotton fields were studied. significantly greater numbers of the ladybird beetle coccinella septempunctata were trapped on (z)-3-hexenyl acetate-baited cards than on others that were hipv baited or the control cards. erigonidium graminicolum was ... | 2008 | 19161683 |
