@article{James2004FieldTestingOM, title={Field-Testing of Methyl Salicylate for Recruitment and Retention of Beneficial Insects in Grapes and Hops}, author={David G James and Tanya S. Price}, journal={Journal of Chemical Ecology}, year={2004}, volume={30}, pages={1613-1628} }
Evidence for recruitment and retention of beneficial insects in grapes and hops using controlled-release dispensers of methyl salicylate (MeSA), a component of herbivore-induced volatile blends, is presented. In a replicated experiment conducted in a juice grape vineyard, sticky cards in blocks baited with MeSA captured significantly greater numbers of five species of predatory insects (Chrysopa nigricornis, Hemerobius sp., Deraeocoris brevis, Stethoruspunctum picipes, Orius tristicolor) than…

Field evidence for attraction of parasitic wasps from the families Encyrtidae and Mymaridae to grapevines baited with synthetic versions of three herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPV) is presented, including the possibility that synthetic, gaseous HIPV from controlled-release dispensers may stimulate plants to produce natural blends of parasitoid-attracting volatile.

The use of synthetic or natural versions of HIPV/plant-signaling compounds like MeSA as 'Herbivore-Induced Plant Protection Odors' (HIPPOs), has the potential to provide a novel yet practical strategy for improving the efficacy and reliability of conservation biological control of mites in a variety of agricultural ecosystems.

Monitoring the response of herbivores and natural enemies to MeSA lures by using sticky and pitfall traps in cranberry bogs provides evidence that attraction to HIPVs can increase natural enemy functioning in an agro-ecosystem.

The results support previous studies demonstrating coccinellids in the tribe Stethorini are often strongly attracted to MeSa, and Deploying MeSa dispensers in vulnerable crops could attract increased numbers of P. nigripes, enhancing the biological control of pest tetranychid mites in Australian horticultural systems and reducing or eliminating the need for miticide applications.

It is hypothesized that plant species with a low degree of direct defense would produce more novel compounds, and almost all of the investigated plant species produced novel compounds that dominated the volatile blend, such as methyl salicylate, terpenes, oximes, and nitriles.

Methyl salicylate and (−)-(1R,5S)-myrtenal stimulate specific olfactory cells in the primary rhinaria on the sixth and fifth antennal segments of the black bean aphid, arguing that these two compounds are employed by A. fabae as indicators of nutritionally unsuitable or nonhost plants.

When maize plants are mechanically damaged and the damaged sites are treated with caterpillar regurgitant, the plants will release a specific blend of volatiles that constitute part of the induced plant defence and herbivores will be affected by the odours as well.
