    Keywords : Cydia pomonella; Codling moth ; Metschnikowia; yeast; volatiles ; GC EAD ; average; apple;

    Abstract : Insect-yeast interactions have been known for decades but are poorly understood. To investigate the codling moth (Cydia pomonella ) olfactory connection to yeasts, volatiles from two ascomycete yeasts, Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Metschnikowia andauensis, were analysed using gas chromatography combined with electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD).

    Abstract : Spodoptera littoralis is a major pest of cotton in Egypt, causing serious economic losses. Egyptian farmers highly appreciate biological control of the pest as synthetic pesticides are very unsustainable. Phytophagous insects rely on plant volatiles to locate oviposition, feeding and, mating sites. We tested newly emerged S. READ MORE
