Application of eucalyptus essential oil in inducing citrus fruit flies

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of eucalyptus essential oil in inducing citrus fruit flies. The eucalyptus essential oil has a good attracting effect on both female and male adults of the citrus fruit flies. Eucalyptus citriodora essential oil can be directly developed into an efficient trapping agent, or can be compounded with other trapping agents for being applied to preventing and treating adult citrus fruit flies, and a new idea can also be provided for researching and developing novel trapping agent compounds.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of pest control, and specifically relates to the application of eucalyptus essential oil in attracting citrus fruit flies. Background technique [0002] Bactrocera citrus is a devastating pest on citrus. The main damage is that the adults lay eggs on young fruits, and the eggs hatch into larvae that eat citrus fruits. After the larvae emerge, they pupate in the soil, which is difficult to control. The most commonly used control method for citrus fruit fly is adult trapping technology, which mainly includes trapping and trapping with traps. Commonly used attractants range from the simplest sweet and sour liquid to slightly more complex yeast hydrolyzed protein. At present, orange juice and orange peel essential oil have been added to the sweet and sour liquid and yeast hydrolyzed protein. These attractants are all food attractants and can be used to a certain extent. The upper trapping of citrus fruit fly, but because its ...

Sex pheromone is a high-efficiency attractant component. There are 4 reports on the sex attractant of Bactrocera citrus. Lu Xuehong et al. (1998) extracted a crude sex pheromone extract, but did not specify the active ingredient Xia Zhongying extracted the sex pheromone 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-phenol, but the application effect in the field was not good

Zhou Qiong found that the sex pheromone secreted by female adults was composed of undecyl alcohol. Laboratory experiments showed that it has an attractive effect on male adults. Zhang Hongyu also collected volatile substances released by female adults of Bactrocera citrus through headspace adsorption, and separated them into R -(+)-Limonene, the study found that it has a good attracting effect on male adults of Bactrocera citrus, but the two components have not been popularized and applied, and the application prospect is unknown, and the attracting effect on Bactrocera citrus has not yet been recognized by the market
