The oviposition preference of Aleurodicus dispersus and its relationship with the plant compounds extracted from different varieties of Capsicum annuum
[Objective] To understand the oviposition preference of Aleurodicus dispersus Russell and its relationship with the plant compounds extracted from different varieties of Capsicum annuum. [Method] The oviposition preference of A. Dispersus to different varieties of the sweet pepper, C. Annuum, was studied by no free-choice method. And the plant compounds extracted were detected. [Result] The most favorite pimientos variety was 'Gufeng 7'. There was significant difference between 'Gufeng 7' and 8 other sweet pepper varieties, including 'Tedaxingmouyihao', 'Jixing', 'Jingjiao' and 'Tedatianjiaoba'. There was no significant difference between 'Gufeng 7' and the other 7 varieties, including 'Guoxi205' and 'Zhengjiaotianbao'. The study showed that there was significant difference in the content of soluble sugars, proteins, tannin, flavone among different pimientoe varieties. [Conclusion] Correlation analysis indicated that the oviposition of A.dispersus was positively correlated with the content of soluble sugar in leaves, but it was not correlated with the content of soluble protein, tannin and flavone in leaves.
