“…Little research has been carried out to examine the influence of relative humidity on pheromone-mediated communication in Coleoptera. For Lepidoptera, Miller and McDougall (1973) found a negative relationship between trap catch and relative humidity in a 12-year trapping study on the spruce budworm. Responsiveness of pests to pheromones has been demonstrated to increase with temperature (Burkholder and Bousch, 1974;Burkholder and Ma, 1985).…”

Abstract-Infochemicals play an important role in the biology of many insect species. An understanding of their role in plant-herbivore-carnivore interactions can be used in the development of tools for the enhancement of environmentally benign alternatives to synthetic pesticides. This review discusses how chemical information mediates ecological interactions between organisms and the role of infochemicals in integrated pest management. Infochemicals can be used in pest monitoring and in pest control, through mating disruption, mass trapping and to aggregate herbivores at delivery sites for biological control agents. Particular emphasis is placed on the potential of using pheromones and kairomones in the management of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a pest in plantations of East African highland banana and plantain in most banana-growing regions of the world. Cosmopolites sordidus produces an aggregation pheromone that attracts both males and females. This pheromone has been identified and synthesised and is being recommended as an effective agent in the trapping and control of the weevil. The synergism between banana plant extracts (kairomones) and the synthetic pheromone in attracting C. sordidus should be better exploited. Future research areas that can provide information for the development of an infochemical-based trapping system for the management of C. sordidus are discussed.Key Words: infochemicals, kairomones, aggregation pheromone, Coleoptera, banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, biological control, pathogenic fungi, predators, synergism Résumé-Les sémiochimiques jouent un rôle important dans la biologie de beaucoup d'espèces d'insectes. La compréhension de leurs rôles dans les interactions plante-herbivore-carnivore peutêtre utilisée pour le développement d'outils destinés à améliorer les techniques de luttes alternatives aux pesticides de synthèse. Cet article montre comment l'information chimique agit sur les interactions écologiques entre organismes et, discute du rôle des infochimiques dans la gestion intégrée des ravageurs. Les sémiochimiques peuvent être utilisés pour surveiller et contrôler les ravageurs, à l'aide de la technique de la confusion sexuelle et du piégeage de masse et pour rassembler les ravageurs en un lieu donné pour les agents de lutte biologique. Une attention particulière a été portée au rôle potentiel de l'utilisation des phéromones et des kairomones dans la gestion du charançon du bananier Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), un ravageur 242 W.

“…Some studies that attempted to positively correlate trap catch with insect population density or host damage have met with failure (Miller and McDougall 1973, Howell 1974, Srivastava et al 1992. One hypothesis frequently cited to explain this failure is called the "competition effect," which states that as an insect population increases, the number of females in that population will increase and compete with the baits (either sex pheromones or host volatiles) being used in traps (Cardé 1979, Knipling 1979.…”

“…Similarly, in mature stands with closed canopies, Miller and McDougall (1973) found up to sixfold differences. Therefore, after emergence, moths are concentrated in the foliated areas, and traps placed near foliage will catch the most moths.…”

Can. Ent. 115: 1065-1070 (1983) Local dispersal and survival of male spruce budworm, Choristoneura fmiferana (Clem.), moths under field conditions was determined by mark, release, and recapture in pheromone-baited traps. Recapture rates and distance of recapture were dependent upon height of traps and proximity of traps to the release point, but over 65% of those recaptured were caught within 50 m. With traps 20 m apart, 30% of the recaptures were in traps farthest from the release point (50-70 m), a fact which suggests that male spruce budworm may disperse beyond this distance at low densities. Males were recaptured up to 7 days after release, and had a daily survival rate averaging 67%.
