Abstract:

The responses of Batocera horsfieldi adults to plant volatiles were tested with Y tube olfactometer. The results showed that the volatiles from the rose had a higher attractive ability to both of unmated and mated male and female adults of Batocera horsfieldi compared with ambient air, and had a higher attractive ability to the unmated and mated female adults compared with poplar(P<0.05), while the volatiles had insignificant effect on the unmated and mated males(p>0.05). There were insignificant differences in the responses of unmated and mated males and mated females to the volatiles between the rose and poplar,and in the responses of the unmated Batocera horsfieldi to the volatiles between the poplar and osier(P>0.05).
