Abstract
Electroantennogram responses of fall webworms Hyphantria cunea to 55 host volatile compounds were conducted Results showed that male moths were more responsive to trans2hexenyl acetate nonanal hexanal trans2hexenal hexanol isoamyl acetate acetic acid cis3hexenyl ester ethyl acetoacetate citronellal and +citronellal and females were more responsive to hexanol hexanal acetophenone isoamyl acetate nonanal trans2hexenal acetic acid cis3hexenyl ester citronellal cis3hexen1ol and trans2hexen1ol Seven bioactive compounds were also selected for further dosage response experiments and a positive correlation was found between the fall webworm and the tested compounds A maximum dosage level of 1000 μg was tested and found to elicit significantly higher activity from male moths compared with lower 1 10 100 μg concentrationsThis article is published under an open access license Please check the Copyright Information section for details of this license and what reuse is permitted If your intended use exceeds what is permitted by the license or if you are unable to locate the licence and reuse information please contact the Rights and Permissions team
