Abstract:

 [Aim]  Compare the attracting effects of seven kinds of plant volatile compounds, including trans-β-Farnesene, nerolidol, 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one, cis-3-Hexenyl acetate, eugenol, linalool, cis-Jasmonanone, and their combinations on natural enemies in the woods around wheat fields, so as to provide a reference for the ecological prevention and control of wheat fields. [Methods]  In the spring of 2024 around the wheat field, the seven plant volatiles were combined to create lure balls for natural enemies. Natural enemies were captured by hanging sticky traps under the lure balls to assess the number of captured natural enemies. [Results]  The attracting effect of the single plant-derived volatile compound, nerolidol with a concentration of 10%, on hoverflies is significantly higher (P=0.046) than that of the control group (without plant-derived volatile compounds), being 87% more than the control. The combination of nerolidol at a concentration of 6.98% and 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one also shows a significantly higher (P=0.040) attracting effect on hoverflies than the control, being 810% more than the control. The combination of nerolidol at a concentration of 4.76% and trans-β-Farnesene has a significantly higher attracting effect on hoverflies (P=0.045) and ladybirds (P=0.038) than the control, being 767% and 725% more than the control respectively. However, after adding trans-β-Farnesene and 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one respectively to these two combinations, there is no significant difference in the attracting effect on natural enemies of pests compared with the control (P>0.05). [Conclusion]  The combination of nerolidol and 6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-one exhibits the best attraction effect on hoverflies, followed by the combination of nerolidol and trans-β-Farnesene. The combination of nerolidol and trans-β-Farnesene exhibits the best attraction effect on ladybirds.
