“…Furthermore, herbivory usually alters the blend of volatiles emitted by plants (Dicke and van Loon 2003;Tumlinson and Engelberth 2008), thereby providing additional information to insects about the potential suitability of the plant for colonization (De Moraes et al 2001;Meiners et al 2005;Choh et al 2008). The central role of plant volatiles in insect life history has been exploited to manipulate the behavior of economically important species in monitoring and management programs (Smart et al 1996;Piñero and Prokopy 2003;De Camelo et al 2007;Martel et al 2007). Several monophagous and oligophagous species have shown behavioral responses to single plant compounds (Leskey et al 2001;Coracini et al 2004;Meagher and Landolt 2008), suggesting that this approach deserves consideration when biologically-based pest control strategies are being developed.…”

Previous laboratory studies have shown that the mirid Lygus hesperus is attracted to volatiles emitted from alfalfa; feeding damage increases the amounts of several of these volatiles, and visual cues can enhance attraction further. The present study tested single plant volatiles in electrophysiological and behavioral trials with L. hesperus. Electroantennogram (EAG) analyses indicated that antennae responded to most plant volatiles included in the test, and that when gender differences were observed, males usually were more responsive than females. Antennal responses to the alcohols ((E)-3-hexenol, (Z)-3-hexenol, 1-hexanol), the acetate (E)-2-hexenyl acetate, and the aldehyde (E)-2-hexenal were among the strongest. Moderate responses were observed for (E)-beta-ocimene, (E,E)-alpha-farnesene, (+/-)-linalool, and methyl salicylate. A dose dependent response was not observed for several terpenes (beta-myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, (+)-limonene, or both (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-alpha-pinenes). EAG responses, however, were not always consistent with behavioral assays. In Y-tube bioassays, males did not exhibit a positive behavioral response to any of the compounds tested. Instead, males were repelled by (E)-2-hexenyl acetate, (+/-)-linalool, (E,E)-alpha-farnesene, and methyl salicylate. In contrast, female L. hesperus moved upwind towards (R)-(+)-alpha-pinene, (E)-beta-ocimene, and (E,E)-alpha-farnesene, and showed a negative response towards (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, (S)-(-)-alpha-pinene, and methyl salicylate. This study emphasizes the use of multiple approaches to better understand host plant finding in the generalist herbivore L. hesperus.

“…As an example, CPB infestation can be decreased 60%–100% when tansy ( Tanacetum vulgare L.) is intercropped in potato fields [ 117 ]. Furthermore, the use of trap crops with attractants and/or aggregation pheromone can significantly reduce the amount of insecticide needed for potato field treatment, while attractants coupled with chemical insecticides in trap crops can have similar control efficiency as insecticides, with application of only 8% of the insecticide active compound [ 118 ]. In addition, natural enemies of CPB can become a valuable part of management programs.…”

Expanding from remote areas of Mexico to a worldwide scale, the ten-striped insect, the Colorado potato beetle (CPB, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), has risen from being an innocuous beetle to a prominent global pest. A diverse life cycle, phenotypic plasticity, adaptation to adverse conditions, and capability to detoxify or tolerate toxins make this insect appear to be virtually “indestructible”. With increasing advances in molecular biology, tools of biotechnological warfare were deployed to combat CPB. In the last three decades, genetically modified potato has created a new challenge for the beetle. After reviewing hundreds of scientific papers dealing with CPB control, it became clear that even biotechnological means of control, if used alone, would not defeat the Colorado potato beetle. This control measure once again appears to be provoking the potato beetle to exhibit its remarkable adaptability. Nonetheless, the potential for adaptation to these techniques has increased our knowledge of this pest and thus opened possibilities for devising more sustainable CPB management programs.

“…A decrease in first and second instar CPB was observed with an application of 2% or 6% active ingredient permethrin coupled with the odorous blend but this method did not significantly decrease older larval stages because the insecticides were more efficacious on young larval stages [ 107 ]. However, the use of this attracticide showed the same control efficiency as the commercial insecticide while using 92% less insecticide by active ingredient [ 106 ]. As many CPB populations in the U.S. have developed resistance to permethrin [ 108 ], the authors suggested imidacloprid as a replacement [ 106 ].…”

The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) has been a major insect pest to potato farming for over 150 years and various control methods have been established to reduce its impact on potato fields. Crop rotation and pesticide use are currently the most widely used approaches, although alternative methods are being developed. Here we review the role of various volatile and nonvolatile chemicals involved in behavior changes of CPB that may have potential for their control. First, we describe all volatile and nonvolatile chemicals involved in host plant localization and acceptance by CPB beetles, including glycoalcaloids and host plant volatiles used as kairomones. In the second section, we present the chemical signals used by CPB in intraspecific communication, including sex and aggregation pheromones. Some of these chemicals are used by natural enemies of CPBs to locate their prey and are presented in the third section. The last section of this review is devoted a discussion of the potential of some natural chemicals in biological control of CPB and to approaches that already reached efficient field applications.
