Attractivity of plant volatiles and a semichemical-based bait to the western spotted cucumber beetle, Diabrotica undecimpunctata Mannerheim (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)Hongtrakul, Tawatchai 02 December 1997 (has links)
The adult western spotted cucumber beetle (WSCB), Diabrotica undecimpunctata
undecimpunctata Mannerheim is considered a major pest of snap beans grown for
processing in Western Oregon. Control consists of 1 or 2 insecticide sprays prior to
harvest. A commercial semiochemical-based insecticide bait, Adios TIC��, 1.3% carbaryl
+ 5% buffalo gourd root powder + 0.7% TIC mixture (1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene, indole,
and trans-cinnamaldehyde, 1:1:1), was evaluated for the control of WSCB in commercial
snap beans. Adios TIC�� did not result in improved WSCB control as reflected by
number of beetles and pod damage.
Twenty one plant volatile compounds were evaluated for their attractivity to
WSCB in snap bean and squash fields by comparing the number of beetles caught on
sticky traps in 1 to 3 day periods. The chemicals beta-ionone, benzyl alcohol, and indole
consistently attracted significantly more beetles than unbaited traps. An equal part of
these chemicals caught more WSCB than those baited with any of the two component mixture blends or even individual components. Captures of WSCB increased
significantly as doses of the 1Bb mixture in trap increased. Baited traps placed inside and
at the edge of alfalfa fields caught similar numbers of WSCB. More WSCB were caught
on traps inside than outside fields. Traps baited with the 1Bb mixture placed at canopy
level or at 10-15 cm above canopy caught equal numbers of WSCB. Traps below plant
canopy caught fewer WSCB. Most WSCB were caught from 10:00 to 13:00 hrs and
from 16:00 to 18:00 hrs. Fresh preparations of IBb were the most attractive to the beetle.
The majority of WSCB attracted by the IBb mixture were males (���80%). Its individual
components, indole and benzyl alcohol attracted mostly females (���73% and 70%
respectively), beta-ionone attracted mostly males (���80%). / Graduation date: 1998

The spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi):interactions with cucurbits and its status as a sweetpotato pest in MississippiFleming, Daniel Edward 02 May 2009 (has links)
The spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber) is regarded as a pest of sweetpotatoes in Mississippi; however, its feeding on sweetpotatoes has not previously been documented. They are attracted to cucurbit crops that could be utilized as a trap crop or sentinel plant for management of cucumber beetles in sweetpotatoes. Studies were conducted between 2006 and 2008 to determine if cucurbit plants have the potential to serve as a trap crop or as sentinel plants for the spotted cucumber beetle in sweetpotato fields, and to determine the status of the spotted cucumber beetle as a sweetpotato pest in Mississippi. Cucurbit plants showed some potential to serve as a trap crop or sentinel plant for the spotted cucumber beetle, however, sweetpotato damage assumed to be caused by cucumber beetle larvae did not correlate with the number of adults captured. Spotted cucumber beetle larvae can feed and survive on sweetpotato roots.
