“…Similarly to our results, Cha et al (2008) failed to find a significant change in the number of male grape berry moths captured between host-plant volatile-baited and control traps. Plant volatile attractants for codling moth failed under certain cases in the field (Knight and Light, 2005).…”

Identification and Field Evaluation of Attractants for the Cranberry Weevil, Anthonomus musculus Say

Studies were conducted to develop an attractant for the cranberry weevil, Anthonomus musculus, a pest of blueberry and cranberry flower buds and flowers in the northeastern United States. In previous studies, we showed that cinnamyl alcohol, the most abundant blueberry floral volatile, and the green leaf volatiles (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and hexyl acetate, emitted from both flowers and flower buds, elicit strong antennal responses from A. musculus. Here, we found that cinnamyl alcohol did not increase capture of A. musculus adults on yellow sticky traps compared with unbaited controls; however, weevils were highly attracted to traps baited with the Anthonomus eugenii Cano aggregation pheromone, indicating that these congeners share common pheromone components. To identify the A. musculus aggregation pheromone, headspace volatiles were collected from adults feeding on blueberry or cranberry flower buds and analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry. Three male-specific compounds were identified: (Z)-2-(3,3-dimethyl-cyclohexylidene) ethanol (Z grandlure II); (Z)-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexylidene) acetaldehyde (grandlure III); and (E)-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexylidene) acetaldehyde (grandlure IV). A fourth component, (E)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol (geraniol), was emitted in similar quantities by males and females. The emission rates of these volatiles were about 2.8, 1.8, 1.3, and 0.9 ng/adult/d, respectively. Field experiments in highbush blueberry (New Jersey) and cranberry (Massachusetts) examined the attraction of A. musculus to traps baited with the male-produced compounds and geraniol presented alone and combined with (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and hexyl acetate, and to traps baited with the pheromones of A. eugenii and A. grandis. In both states and crops, traps baited with the A. musculus maleproduced compounds attracted the highest number of adults. Addition of the green leaf volatiles did not affect A. musculus attraction to its pheromone but skewed the sex ratio of the captured adults towards females. Although the role of plant volatiles in host-plant location by A. musculus is still unclear, our studies provide the first identification of the primary A. musculus aggregation pheromone components that can be used to monitor this pest in blueberry and cranberry pest management programs.

“…We used a custom-made plastic panel trap modiÞed after Knight (2000) for evaluating the hostplant based lures. This is the same design as used by Cha et al (2008b). Brießy, the panel trap is constructed by overlaying multiple layers of plastic sheets (30 cm by 30 cm; Kittrich Co., LA Mirada, CA) with each sheet coated with STP Oil Treatment.…”

“…Of the many volatile compounds produced by grape tissue, 11 common plant volatiles [(Z)-3-hexen-1-yl acetate, (Z)-linalool oxide, (E)-linalool oxide, nonanal, linalool, (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene, methyl salicylate, decanal, ␤-caryophyllene, germacrene-D, and ␣-farnesene] were initially identiÞed using GC-EAD and GC-MS analytical tools. Further investigation revealed a full 13-component blend (Table 1) and two different 7-component blends that resulted in high levels of upwind orientation equivalent to live shoots in wind tunnel bioassays (Cha et al 2008b).…”

“…In an initial Þeld trial conducted in a commercial vineyard late in the Þeld season, traps baited with either the 13-component blend or one of the 7-component blends captured more female grape berry moth than control traps (Cha et al 2008b). In the current study, we evaluated trap captures of grape berry moth for traps baited with host plant-based lures or sex pheromone over two Þeld seasons in two blocks of grapes in a commercial vineyard in New York.…”

Monitoring Grape Berry Moth (Paralobesia viteana: Lepidoptera) in Commercial Vineyards using a Host Plant Based Synthetic Lure

For some Lepidopteran pests, such as the grape berry moth Paralobesia viteana (Clemens), poor correlation between males captured in traps baited with sex pheromone and oviposition activities of female moths has called into question the value of pheromone-based monitoring for these species. As an alternative, we compared the capture of female and male grape berry moth in panel traps baited with synthetic host volatiles with captures of males in pheromone-baited wing traps over two growing seasons in two blocks of grapes in a commercial vineyard in central New York. Lures formulated in hexane to release either 7-component or 13-component host volatile blends captured signiÞcantly more male and female grape berry moth on panel traps compared with the numbers captured on panel traps with hexane-only lures. For both sexes over both years, the same or more moths were captured in panel traps along the forest edge compared with the vineyard edge early in the season but this pattern was reversed by mid-season. Male moths captured in pheromone-baited wing traps also displayed this temporal shift in location. There was a signiÞcant positive correlation between captured males and females on panel traps although not between females captured on panel traps and males captured in pheromone-baited traps for both years suggesting pheromone traps do not accurately reßect either female or male activity. Male moths captured in pheromone traps indicated a large peak early in each season corresponding to Þrst ßight followed by lower and variable numbers that did not clearly indicate second and third ßights. Panel trap data, combining males and females, indicated three distinct ßights, with some overlap between the second and third ßights. Peak numbers of moths captured on panel traps matched well with predictions of a temperature-based phenology model, especially in 2008. Although effective, panel traps baited with synthetic host lures were time consuming to deploy and maintain and captured relatively few moths making them impractical, in the current design, for commercial purposes.

“…27.4 ). In the case of grape berry moth Paralobesia viteana , a mixture of seven components composed of (E)-linalool oxide, (Z)-linalool oxide, nonanal, (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatrien,decanal, (E) caryophyllene and germacrene-D elicited equivalent levels of attraction to grape shoots in a wind tunnel bioassay (Cha et al 2008 ). Any one compound removed from the blend decreased the female moth response and suggest that these components are essential for the orientation.…”

Insects are the most dominating, interesting, and curious forms of life exceeding in numbers as well as species. Among these more than 50 % exploit plants for their feeding, oviposition, and even as habitat. Almost all plants are constantly challenged with facing trade-off between AbstractProduction and emission of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) is a general phenomenon in most of the plant communities. Insects respond to plant chemicals in a variety of interesting ways which has tremendous potential in pest management programmes. In a normal state, plants release a spectrum of species-specifi c VOCs through their leaf, stem, fl ower, and even root surfaces, and they become host location cues to insects leading to their colonisation on the plant, whereas the plants damaged by insect feeding emit qualitatively and quantitatively different volatiles that become host/prey location signals to the wandering insect natural enemies causing the reduction of the pest population. In addition to this, plant volatiles synergise or deter the insect sex pheromonal activities. Insects possess excellent chemosensory system for detection of volatile chemicals. The advent of electrophysiology, scanning, and transmission electron microscopic techniques made insect sensory physiology/morphology an admirable tool to unravel the mechanisms underlying the insect responses to plant volatile compounds.
