A Review of Interactions between Insect Biological Control Agents and Semiochemicals

摘要: Biological control agents and semiochemicals have become essential parts of the integrated pest management insect pests over recent years, as incorporation with natural enemies entomopathogenic microbials has gained significance. The potential pheromones to attract mainly been established under laboratory conditions, while from plants used retain in field conditions using strategies such trap crops push-pull mechanism. best-known are those for parasitoids-insect pest-plant host systems. Semiochemicals can also aid successful dispersal microbials. use disseminate microbial pathogens is still at initial stage, especially bacterial viral entomopathogens. Future studies should focus on integration into insects, which several semiochemical compounds already studied. More effective formulations agents, granular fungi (EPFs), along bio-degradable materials, could improve this strategy. Furthermore, more evaluate species-specific tactics may be needed, where than one key present.
