“…Our study will support the potential usefulness of nonanal to lure H. axyridis for continuous control before pests, especially aphid outbreaks in crop fields in China. Yu et al (2018) found that indole significantly attracted H. axyridis adults. Next, the synthetic attractants would be developed based on these active compounds.…”

“…The results of this study are useful for further developing the synthetic attractant of this coccinellid. The use of synthetic volatiles to enhance the recruitment of natural enemies before a pest outbreak might provide a useful pest management tool (James et al 2012;Yu et al 2018), and their use can also suppress the adult population using an attract-and-kill approach in the invasive areas (Verheggen et al 2007).…”

The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is a common generalist predator in China and is occasionally found gathering on the Chinese pagoda tree, Sophora japonica, in summer. In a field investigation, we found that H. axyridis adults preferred S. japonica during its flowering period even though their optimal prey (aphid) is absent at this time. In addition, male and female adults were attracted to S. japonica flowers to a similar extent in a Y-tube olfactometer assay. Using coupled gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD), we identified a flower odor component (nonanal) that elicited a significant electrophysiological response in H. axyridis. Electroantennogram (EAG) dose-dependent responses revealed that the amplitude of the adult beetle's EAG response increased with increasing concentration of nonanal, peaking at 10 mg mL-1. In Y-tube olfactometer behavioral tests, H. axyridis adults preferred a 10 mg mL-1 nonanal source over a 100 mg mL-1 diluent. Under field conditions, the adults were significantly attracted to both concentrations (10 and 100 mg mL-1), and high concentrations generally had greater attraction. All these results suggest that nonanal, a volatile compound of S. japonica flowers, greatly attracts H. axyridis adults. This study provides a basis for the development of synthetic attractants of H. axyridis, with the potential to promote biocontrol services of this generalist predator in the native area (e.g., China) and to suppress its population by mass trapping in its invasive areas.

“…Verheggen et al (2007) suggested that farnesene was indicated as having potential usefulness in a push-pull method, which repels target pests from a hostplant while luring them towards an attractive trap using H. axyridis as a bio-control agent in aphid infested plants. Furthermore, in a study conducted by Yu et al (2017) linalool attract Propylaea japonica (Thunberg, 1781) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Hence, our field study confirmed that farnesene is considered an important attractant for coccinellids.…”

“…Furthermore, the attraction of natural enemies by other synthetic HIPVs has been demonstrated under laboratory and field conditions, and their potential value in pest management has been recognized (James 2005;James and Grasswitz 2005;Kahn et al 2008;Gurr and Kvedaras 2010;Lee 2010;Orre et al 2010). In recent years, field studies have been realized by testing an HIPV (or a mixture of HIPVs) with a trap to determine the diversity and abundance of the attracted natural enemy species (Maeda et al 2015;Lucchi et al 2017;Yu et al 2017). Thus, while the synthetic HIPVs have been tested, there is less work with binary combinations of them in the field conditions.…”

Los compuestos de defensa indirectos, denominados compuestos volátiles de plantas inducidos por herbívoros (HIPV por su sigla en inglés), al atraer fauna benéfica, son una de las herramientas de control biológico efectivas para la agregación de enemigos naturales de plagas claves. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la atracción de formulaciones sintéticas de cuatro HIPV principales: [salicilato de metilo (MeSa), benzaldehído (B), linalool (L) y farneseno (F)], solos y en combinaciones binarias (MeSa + B; MeSa + F; MeSa + L; F + B; B + L; F + L) a tres depredadores de áfidos de las familias Chrysopidae, Coccinellidae y Syrphidae en una plantación de manzanas de la provincia Bursa, en Turquía. Este estudio representa la primera evidencia de la atracción que ejercen combinaciones únicas y binarias de HIPV sintéticas a depredadores de áfidos en un manzanar. Relativamente, un mayor número de coccinélidos fue capturado por los tratamientos individuales de B y F en comparación con otras combinaciones de HIPV. Los individuos de crisópidos fueron más atraídos significativamente a las trampas cebadas con estos HIPV sólos. Además, la combinación binaria de MeSa + L atrajo significativamente más sírfidos que sus tratamientos únicos y trampas de control. Por lo tanto, se encontró que algunos de los HIPV evaluados tenían un valor potencial en la atracción de depredadores de áfidos en los manzanos.

“…Some synthetic plant volatiles such as methyl salicylate (MeSA) for beneficial insects have been already commercially available (Lee 2010). In China, case of plant volatiles' use is limited and most cases involved predators rather than parasitoids (Yu et al 2008(Yu et al , 2018. Yang et al (2017a) found that MeSA and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are attractive to E. sophia in the field.…”

Biological control (biocontrol) is a safe, sustainable approach that takes advantage of natural enemies such as predators, parasitic insects or pathogens to manage pests in agroecosystems. Parasitoid wasps, a very large evolutionary group of hymenopteran insects, are well-known biological control agents for arthropod pests in agricultural and forest ecosystems. Here, we summarize the recent progress on the application of parasitoid wasps in biocontrol in China for the last five years. These include species diversity of parasitoid wasps, identification of dominant parasitoid wasps associated with insect pests and biocontrol practices (three types of biological control, i.e., classical, augmentative and conservation biological control) in several Chinese agroecosystems. We then treat different mass-rearing and release technologies and the commercialization of several parasitoid wasp species. We also summarize other work that may have a potential use in biocontrol, including the effect of plant volatiles on parasitoids and recent advance in the molecular mechanisms underlying the host regulation by parasitoid wasps. Future research area and applied perspectives are also discussed, noting that advances in biocontrol technologies in Chinese agriculture informs research at the global level.
