| 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 |
| field trapping of predaceous insects with synthetic herbivore-induced plant volatiles in cotton fields. | nine herbivore-induced plant volatiles (hipvs) and one methyl jasmonate were field-tested for their attractiveness to the main predators in cotton fields of north china in 2 yr. the main predators including ladybird beetles (propylaea japonica (thunberg), harmonia axyridis (pallas)), green lacewings (chrysoplera sinica (tjeder), chrysopa spp.), predatory bugs (geocoris pallidipennis (costa), orius spp., nabis spp.) and spiders (misumenops tricuspidatus (fabricius), erigonidium graminicolum (sund ... | 2017 | 29293947 |
| the influence of nutritional history on the functional response of geocoris pallidipennis to its prey, myzus persicae. | insect artificial diets are the foundation for mass production of insect predators. whether there is an influence of long-term rearing with artificial diet on the control ability of predators should be considered. here, we focused on the effect of nutritional history on the functional response of geocoris pallidipennis to myzus persicae. the influence of nutritional history (artificial diet versus natural prey, m. persicae) on the functional response of third to fifth instar nymphs and female g. ... | 2014 | 24990177 |
