Abstract:
[Objectives]  To investigate the electroantennogram (EAG) responses of adult Cnaphalocrocis medinalis to 8 plant volatiles in order to develop efficient attractants for this species. [Methods]  The EAG responses of adult C. medinalis moths to different concentrations of the plant volatiles benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, linalool, heptanol, hexanal, methyl salicylate, cis-3-hexenal and benzyl acetate, were measured in both sexes, in mated and unmated individuals and in individuals feeding on honey-water and those feeding on water. [Results]  The EAG responses of males to plant volatiles were stronger than those of females and unmated females and males were more responsive to plant volatiles than mated moths. Unmated females and males provided with honey water were more responsive to plant volatiles than those provided with only water. 500 g/L hexanal elicited the strongest EAG responses from unmated male moths provided with ether honey-water or water. However, 100 g/L hexanal elicited the strongest EAG responses from mated female and unmated male moths provided with honey-water. 500 g/μL phenylacetaldehyde elicited the strongest EAG responses in mated male moths feeding on honey water. [Conclusion]  EAG responses of C. medinalis to eight different plant volatile varied with the concentration of the volatile in question, with the sex of the moth, its mating status and whether it was feeding on honey-water or water. C. medinalis is most sensitive to hexanal but phenylacetaldehyde can also induce strong EAG responses from unmated female and male moths.
