Abstract:
[Objectives]  To investigate the effects of six antioxidants on the stability of monoterpene lures used to trap adult Monochamus alternatus Hope in the field. [Methods]  The effects of different antioxidants on the stability of α-pinene, β-pinene, and myrcene were determined by gas chromatography using the water bath heating and accelerated oxidation methods. A trapping assay of M. alternatus was carried out in forest. [Results]  Of the 6 antioxidants tested, TBHQ had the most significant protective effect on monoterpenes (P˂0.05). The concentration of TBHQ significantly affected monoterpene stability (F=6.631, P=0.007); the optimal concentration was 0.03% (P˂0.05). There were significant differences in the stability of the three monoterpenes α-pinene, β-pinene, and myrcene even with the same antioxidant (F=3.231, P=0.031); α-pinene was the most stable (P˂0.05). Field trapping results indicate that an olfactory lure comprised of 0.03% TBHQ and a ratio of α-pinene:β-pinene:myrtene of 50∶40∶10 extended the effectiveness of lures in forest by at least 30 days. [Conclusion]  Addition of antioxidant to protect monoterpenes significantly extends the life of monoterpene olfactory attractants used to trap M. alternatus in forest.
