The effects of volatile organic compounds of damaged dahurian larch on forest insects
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) evolved during the coevolution of plants and pests and mediate relations among host plants, herbivores and natural enemies. Although the VOCs of Larix gmelini have been identified, their effects, especially from damaged trees on forest insects, are not yet clear. In order to better understand these effects, VOCs from damaged L. Gmelini were placed in 3 forest types. The results show that the VOCs were an obvious attractant for forest insects, especially longhorned beetles and leaf beetles. Forest age did not influence these effects significantly, possibly because of the classification of age groups used in the study. The attracted insects require further identification to shed light on the electrophysiological responses of key populations. The potential of VOCs as a future phyto-pesticide is discussed.
