Journal ArticleDOI
Plant odor analysis of apple: antennal response of codling moth females to apple volatiles during phenological development.
Marie Bengtsson,Anna-Carin Bäckman,Ilme Liblikas,Martha I. Ramirez,Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson,Lena Ansebo,Peter J. Anderson,Jan Löfqvist,Peter Witzgall +8 more
TL;DR: The study of apple volatiles eliciting an antennal response, together with a survey of the seasonal change in the release of these compounds, is the first step toward the identification of volatile mediating host-finding and oviposition in codling moth females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergism and redundancy in a plant volatile blend attracting grapevine moth females.
Marco Tasin,Anna-Carin Bäckman,Miryan Coracini,Daniel Casado,Claudio Ioriatti,Peter Witzgall +5 more
TL;DR: The observed behavioral plasticity in response to grape volatile blends probably reflects the variation of the natural plant signal, since females oviposit on different grape varieties, in different phenological stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential host plant cues in the grapevine moth
TL;DR: Chemical analysis of grape headspace and subsequent behavioural studies in the wind tunnel show that host finding in grapevine moth Lobesia botrana is encoded by a ratio-specific blend of three ubiquitous plant volatiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant volatiles mediate attraction to host and non‐host plant in apple fruit moth, Argyresthia conjugella
Marie Bengtsson,Gunnhild Jaastad,Geir K. Knudsen,Sverre Kobro,Anna-Carin Bäckman,Eva M. Pettersson,Peter Witzgall +6 more
TL;DR: Results confirm that volatiles common to both plants may account for a host switch in A. conjugella from rowan to apple, and support the idea that the odour signal from apple is suboptimal for attraction of A. Conjugella, but is nonetheless sufficient for attraction, during times when rowan is not available for egg laying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral observations of codling moth, Cydia pomonella, in orchards permeated with synthetic pheromone
Peter Witzgall,Anna-Carin Bäckman,Mats Svensson,Uwe T. Koch,Franco Rama,Ashraf M. El-Sayed,Julia Brauchli,Heinrich Arn,Marie Bengtsson,Jan Löfqvist +9 more
TL;DR: Reducing pheromone concentrations towards the upper part of the tree canopy, together with the stimulation of male flight activity by synthetic phersomone explains failures to control codling moth at high population density with current dispenser formulations.
