Abstract:Plants produce volatiles in response to attacks by arthropod herbivores, and these volatiles can be used as cues by natural enemies to find their prey. Because these volatiles are within a variety of other odour blends, here referred to as background volatiles, natural enemy response towards prey-associated plant volatiles may be affected. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the effect of mixing blends of volatiles under controlled conditions on the foraging behaviour of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus macro… Show more
