The potential of semiochemicals for control of Phorodon humuli (Homoptera: Aphididae)

, 1996
Field experiments employing yellow water-traps with vials releasing methyl salicylate, butyl isothiocyanate, 4-pentenyl isothiocyanate and diethyltoluamide were conducted during the spring migration of Phorodon humuli (Schrank), with the aim of ...

Enterobacter supplement and ambient conditions determine the performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Partial replacement of Brewer's yeast (protein source) with inactivated Enterobacter biomass during larval development enhanced mating competitiveness of sterile VIENNA 8 GSS males under outdoor field‐cage conditions. Sterile male mating performance was season‐dependent, with highest competitiveness in spring, intermediate in autumn and the lowest ...

Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Interactions of insect pheromones and plant semiochemicals

, 2004
Plant semiochemicals are known to produce a wide range of behavioral responses in insects. Some insects sequester or acquire host plant compounds and use them as sex pheromones or sex pheromone precursors.

Dose–response modelling uncovers compound‐specific inhibitory effects of host defence volatiles on mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 10241-10250, October 2026.
Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...
