@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.

Attraction of Parastethorus nigripes and other insect species to methyl salicylate and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate dispensers in a citrus grove and vineyard in south-eastern Australia

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.
