Abstract

The zoophytophagous mirid predator Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is used in the augmentative biological control of Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a fruit and vegetable pest in protected culture in Japan. N. tenuis can be maintained on certain plants without arthropod prey. Although such plant species may be useful as banker plants, their attractiveness to N. tenuis is underresearched. We investigated the behavioral responses of N. tenuis to (1) uninfested and conspecific-infested banker plants, Verbena × hybrida (verbena), Scaevola aemula (scaevola), Cleome hassleriana (cleome), and Lobularia maritima (sweet alyssum) and (2) conspecific-infested banker plants and T. palmi-infested eggplants, using a Y-tube olfactometer. Female N. tenuis preferred the volatiles emitted by (1) uninfested verbena over clean air but showed no preference for those emitted by the other uninfested banker plants, and (2) conspecific-infested verbena over clean air but showed no preference for those emitted by conspecific-infested scaevola over clean air. The attractiveness of the volatiles of T. palmi-infested eggplants for N. tenuis was not significantly different from those of N. tenuis-infested verbena and scaevola. As both uninfested and conspecific-infested verbena attracted female N. tenuis, this species is a promising banker plant. Chemical analyses and principal coordinate analyses of the volatiles from the headspaces of uninfested and N. tenuis-infested verbena and scaevola showed that 1-octen-3-ol, (E)-β-caryophyllene, and (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene distinguished these plant species and are candidate volatile N. tenuis attractants.
