“…Combining the sex pheromones of multiple elaterid species in a single trap lure to monitor or mass trap populations of co‐occurring elaterids is of interest to farmers. This strategy has been tested in integrated pest management programmes for other insect taxa, such as cerambycid beetles (Fan et al, 2019; Hanks et al, 2018; Rice et al, 2020; Sweeney et al, 2014), moths (Brockerhoff et al, 2013; Knight et al, 2014; Preti et al, 2020), true bugs (Kim et al, 2015; Yasuda et al, 2010) and mealybugs (Sullivan et al, 2023; Waterworth et al, 2011). As a key feature of such a lure, the pheromone for each species must express the same level of attractiveness as it would in a single pheromone lure.…”

1. The wheat wireworm, Agriotes mancus (Coleoptera: Elateridae), is a predominant elaterid pest species in the Nearctic region, with a life history and morphology similar to those of Agriotes obscurus, Agriotes lineatus and Agriotes sputator, three Palearctic pest elaterids invasive in North America. Here, we report the identification and field testing of the sex pheromone of A. mancus.2. We collected headspace volatiles from female beetles on Porapak Q, and analysed aliquots of Porapak extract by gas chromatography with electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) and by GC-mass spectrometry. In GC-EAD recordings, two esters-geranyl butanoate and geranyl hexanoate-elicited antennal responses from A. mancus males. In field experiments, trap lures containing both geranyl butanoate and geranyl hexanoate afforded large captures of A. mancus males, which were-on average-approximately 30-fold higher than captures in traps baited with a single ester.3. Traps baited with geranyl butanoate as a single-component lure captured a significant number of Palearctic A. sputator, indicating the establishment of A. sputator in its invaded Nearctic range.4. With the A. mancus sex pheromone now known, it can be included in the development of pheromone-based programmes to monitor and manage native and invasive Agriotes pests in North America.

“…As previously shown, (E)-4-ethyloct-4-enoic acid (limoniic acid) as a single-component sex pheromone is highly attractive to each of the four major North American Limonius pests (L. californicus, L. canus, L. infuscatus and L. agonus) (Gries et al, 2021;Lemke et al, 2022;van Herk et al, 2023;van Herk, Lemke, Gries, et al, 2021) obscurus decreased by 76%-77% (van Herk, Vernon, Bourassa-Tait, et al, 2022;Vernon, van Herk, & Tanaka, 2014) The concept of combining synthetic pheromones of multiple pest species in a mixed pheromone lure has previously been explored with varying degrees of success in several integrated pest management programs. The concept was tested with mealybugs (Waterworth et al, 2011), longhorn beetles (Fan et al, 2019;Nakamuta et al, 1997;Rice et al, 2020;Wong et al, 2012), moths (Brockerhoff et al, 2013;Jones et al, 2009;Preti et al, 2020) and true bugs (Kim et al, 2015;Yasuda et al, 2010). Mixed pheromone lures are effective if no pheromone in that lure adversely affects attraction and capture of all target species.…”

Sex pheromone lures are effective tools for monitoring and potentially controlling populations of pest click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae). To date, these lures are genus‐specific (e.g., Limonius spp.) or species‐specific (e.g., Agriotes lineatus Linnaeus). However, if sympatric heterogeners were not to be repelled by each other's pheromones, trap lures effective for multiple elaterid genera could be developed, improving cost efficiency in elaterid pest management programs. In both western and eastern North America, several species of Agriotes spp. and Limonius spp. co‐occur and inflict similar crop damage. We investigated whether the sex pheromones of these species can be combined in a mixed lure without reducing its attractiveness to all target species. In western Canada, we show that the pheromones of A. lineatus (geranyl butanoate & geranyl octanoate) and Limonius spp. [(E)‐4‐ethyloct‐4‐enoic acid (limoniic acid)] can be combined without significantly reducing captures of male A. lineatus, L. canus (LeConte), L. californicus (Mannerheim) and L. infuscatus (Motschulsky) relative to traps baited with species‐specific lures for A. lineatus and Limonius spp.. Similarly, the pheromone of A. obscurus (Linnaeus) (geranyl hexanoate & geranyl octanoate) and limoniic acid can be combined without significantly reducing trap captures of male L. canus, L. infuscatus and L. californicus but reduced A. obscurus captures relative to traps baited only with the A. obscurus pheromone. In eastern Canada, combining pheromones for Agriotes mancus (Say) (geranyl butanoate & geranyl hexanoate) and limoniic acid reduced captures of A. mancus but not A. pubescens (Melsheimer) and A. sputator (Linnaeus). These data imply that pheromones of select elaterid heterogeners can be combined in a ‘catch‐more’ pheromone lure to effectively monitor for, or possibly control, multiple elaterid pests, but that such mixed lures should be evaluated for each species combination.
