“…In recent decades, several studies have tested synthetic versions of HIPVs to attract natural enemies of herbivorous pests in agricultural systems (e.g., [28][29][30]). Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an ubiquitous HIPV [31] that is often induced by feeding by herbivores from different feeding guilds-including mites [32], aphids [33,34], and beetles [35]-and has been proven to be attractive to various beneficial arthropods, including insect predators, in agro-ecosystems [9]. For example, James and Price [36] reported the attraction of several insect predators-including Chrysopa nigricornis Burmeister, Hemerobius sp., Deraeocoris brevis (Uhler), Stethorus punctum picipes (Casey), and Orius tristicolor (White)-to MeSA in grapes and hops.…”

Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore-induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract the natural enemies of herbivores in agro-ecosystems; however, whether this attraction leads to an increase in natural enemy functioning, i.e., predation, remains largely unknown. Here, we monitored for 2 years (2011–2012) the response of herbivores and natural enemies to MeSA lures (PredaLure) by using sticky and pitfall traps in cranberry bogs. In addition, European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, egg masses were used to determine whether natural enemy attraction to MeSA leads to higher predation. In both years, MeSA increased adult hoverfly captures on sticky traps and augmented predation of O. nubilalis eggs. However, MeSA also attracted more phytophagous thrips and, in 2012, more plant bugs (Miridae) to sticky traps. Furthermore, we used surveillance cameras to record the identity of natural enemies attracted to MeSA and measure their predation rate. Video recordings showed that MeSA lures increase visitation by adult lady beetles, adult hoverflies, and predatory mites to sentinel eggs, and predation of these eggs doubled compared to no-lure controls. Our data indicate that MeSA lures increase predator attraction, resulting in increased predation; thus, we provide evidence that attraction to HIPVs can increase natural enemy functioning in an agro-ecosystem.

“…Maize that was damaged by lepidopteran pests produced (E)-β-caryophyllene from roots and leaves to attract parasitic wasps that deposit their eggs into the larvae, thus incapacitating the larvae and minimizing plant damage [ 12 ]. Methyl salicylate, a major compound emitted in HIPVs, was the key factor that attracted lacewings ( Chrysoperla externa ) to aphid-infested rose plants [ 13 ].…”

Volatiles from Plants Induced by Multiple Aphid Attacks Promote Conidial Performance of Lecanicillium lecanii

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are clues that help predatory insects search for food. The hypothesis that entomopathogenic fungi, which protect plants, benefit from the release of HIPVs was tested. The plant Arabidopsis thaliana was used as the source of HIPVs. The insect herbivore Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) was used as the inducer, and the fungal pathogen of the aphid Lecanicillium lecanii was exposed to HIPVs to test our hypothesis. When exposed to aphid-induced A. thaliana volatiles, the mortality of aphids pre-treated with a conidial suspension of L. lecanii, the conidial germination and the appressorial formation were significantly increased compared with the control. The decan-3-ol and 4-methylpentyl isothiocyanate that were detected in the headspace seemed to have positive and negative affection, respectively. Moreover, HIPVs generated from groups of eight aphids per plant promoted significantly increased conidial germination and appressorial formation compared with HIPVs from groups of one, two and four aphids per plant. Our results demonstrated that the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus L. lecanii was enhanced when exposed to HIPVs and that the HIPVs were affected by the number of insect herbivores that induced them.

“…Coriander, Coriandrum sativum cv. ‘Verdão’, was used as a companion plant because previous studies have shown that coriander when intercropped with cabbage, tomato, carrot, eggplant, and rose plants attracts natural enemies – for example, lacewings (Chrysopidae), hoverflies (Syrphidae), and ladybeetles (Coccinellidae). Coriander emits volatiles throughout all vegetative stages, which are known to be attractive to natural enemies .…”
