“…This experiment indicated that winged aphids were attracted to selected essential oils. However, it is known that yellow sticky traps by themselves attract winged aphids, 8,15,31,32,39,43 therefore we tested whether the selected essential oils by themselves were able to attract aphids or if the color of the sticky traps was a criterion for attraction. The above experiment was repeated with colorless (transparent) sticky traps.…”

“…To date, winged aphid populations are mostly monitored and controlled using colored sticky traps, 15,31,32 although colored sticky traps alone are not efficient in trapping large populations of winged aphids. 8,33 Therefore precise attractants that can increase trap catches are needed to efficiently monitor and control winged aphids. Previous studies have shown that fragrant flower odors applied on colored sticky traps increased trap catches of sucking insect pests such as western flower thrips.…”

“…They feed on sap with their stylets (piercing‐sucking mouthparts) and are known to transmit plant viruses 4,5 . This causes leaf curling, stunting, or wilting of host plants, thereby reducing yield and affecting production of disease‐free seeds in certain crops like potato 6–8 . Aphids exhibit polyphenism and can generate two distinct kinds of morphotypes, namely, winged (alate) and wingless (aptera) morphs 9–12 .…”

“…More than 22 species of aphids are known to infest potatoes globally, of which 15 species are known to infest potatoes in India, 8,23 namely, Myzus persicae (peach potato aphid), Aphis gossypii (melon aphid), A. craccivora (cowpea aphid), A. fabae (black bean aphid), A. spiraecola (green citrus aphid), A. nerii (oleander aphid), Macrosiphum euphorbiae (potato aphid), Aulacorthum solani (glasshouse potato aphid), Brevicoryne brassicae (cabbage aphid), Hyadaphis coriandri (coriander aphid), Lipaphis erysimi (mustard aphid), Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominalis (rice root aphid), Rhopalosiphum maidis (corn leaf aphid), Macrosiphum rosae (Linn.) (rose aphid) and Myzus ornatus Laing (ornate Aphid or violet aphid) 8,23 . Apart from sucking sap, the most significant damage caused by aphids to potato is the transmission of potato‐specific viruses 24–26 .…”

BACKGROUND Aphids are sap‐sucking insect pests of economic importance. They exhibit polyphenism, producing two kinds of morphotypes; winged (alate) and wingless (aptera) morphs. While wingless morphs can be controlled by insecticides, winged morphs are a challenge for targeted control measures as they can fly. Although colored sticky traps are used to control and monitor winged aphids, only a small population is trapped, making sticky traps less effective in controlling aphids. Studies have shown that fragrant oils applied to sticky traps increased attraction of sap‐sucking insects like whiteflies and thrips. Here, we tested selected essential oils for their attractiveness to winged Aphis gossypii in potato fields. RESULTS In field assays, selected essential oils with yellow or colorless sticky traps attracted more winged A. gossypii than controls. The combination of yellow traps baited with essential oils attracted ~2–3‐fold more winged A. gossypii than did colorless traps baited with essential oils. In a multi‐cycle 2 year study, yellow sticky traps baited with basil oil consistently attracted more winged A. gossypii than yellow sticky traps baited with lavender, geranium or tea tree oils. In electrophysiological studies, winged A. gossypii's antennae responded consistently to estragole in basil oil. In olfactometer assays with estragole, winged A. gossypii spent significantly more time in the treatment arm of the olfactometer than in the control arm, validating estragole's attractiveness. Furthermore, yellow sticky traps baited with pure estragole, in potato fields, attracted similar number of winged A. gossypii as yellow sticky traps baited with basil oil. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate the potential of using basil oil as a potential attractant to improve the efficacy of sticky traps in the monitoring and control of winged aphids. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Aphids pose a significant threat to global agricultural crop production, leading to widespread pesticide use and resistance. This necessitates the use of alternative substances, like plant secondary metabolites (PSMs). Plants have developed protective compounds known as alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, sulfur- and nitrogen-containing metabolites. These compounds exhibit promising characteristics against aphids, such as antifeedant, aphicidal, and disrupting survival fitness. This review highlights the importance and application of secondary metabolites in combating aphid populations. Different insect-resistant substances have different mechanisms for managing aphids and other pests, including defensive signaling, inhibiting growth, and attracting natural predators by releasing herbivore-induced volatiles (HIPV). The application of plant secondary metabolites as biopesticides has proven to be an effective, economical, and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic pesticide chemicals. Furthermore, this review comprehensively discusses the principle role of plant secondary metabolites, encouraging sustainable agricultural practices and emphasizing the integrated management of the aphid population.
