ROLE OF NON‐HOST PLANT CHEMICALS IN THE REPRODUCTION OF AN OLIGOPHAGOUS INSECT: THE SUGAR BEET MOTH SCROBIPALPA OCELLATELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE)

View through CrossRef
Chemical factors have an important role in the host plant/insect relationship. Yet insects are living in a complex environment consisting not only of host plants, but also of many non‐host plants. The latter also release chemical signals that may be perceived by insects.We show here how a non‐host plant (chestnut) affects the sugar beet moth's reproduction. The chestnut compounds inhibit mating and egg‐laying behaviour and mask the chemical stimulating effect of the beet on oogenesis and oviposition. In this way they act in laboratory conditions by reducing the reproductive potential of an oligophagous insect, and in field conditions they lower population density.These results reveal the possible role of non‐host plant compounds, and their identification will open new prospects in pest management by manipulating the behaviour of insects.RÉSUMÉACTION D'UN EXTRAIT DE PLANTE NON HȮTE SUR LA REPRODUCTION D'UN INSECTE PHYTOPHAGE OLIGOPHAGE: LA TEIGNE DE LA BETTERAVE SCROBIPALPA OCELLATELLA BOYD.

Title: ROLE OF NON‐HOST PLANT CHEMICALS IN THE REPRODUCTION OF AN OLIGOPHAGOUS INSECT: THE SUGAR BEET MOTH SCROBIPALPA OCELLATELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE)
Description:
Chemical factors have an important role in the host plant/insect relationship.
Yet insects are living in a complex environment consisting not only of host plants, but also of many non‐host plants.
The latter also release chemical signals that may be perceived by insects.
We show here how a non‐host plant (chestnut) affects the sugar beet moth's reproduction.
The chestnut compounds inhibit mating and egg‐laying behaviour and mask the chemical stimulating effect of the beet on oogenesis and oviposition.
In this way they act in laboratory conditions by reducing the reproductive potential of an oligophagous insect, and in field conditions they lower population density.
These results reveal the possible role of non‐host plant compounds, and their identification will open new prospects in pest management by manipulating the behaviour of insects.
