Response to a mixture of all five spider mite induced volatiles of Lima bean.

Abstract

<p>The odor of spider-mite-infested Lima bean (IB) was more attractive than the artificial mixture, plus a Lima bean leaf disc (B+M5) if no odor (NO) was the alternative. The artificial mixture plus the odor of non-infested Lima bean (B+M5) was preferred over a Lima bean leaf disc (B) to a similar extent as a spider-mite infested leaf disc (IB) was preferred to B. In a direct test the mites did not differentiate between the artificial odor (M5+B) and the odor of spider-mite-infested Lima bean (IB). The Y-axis represents the preference index (βˆ’100 total repellence, +100 total attraction). A star above the bar indicates a choice based on significance of G<sub>p</sub><0.05. Horizontal bracket bars with stars below the bars represent significant differences betwwen the pooled experimental results based on a Chi-square test (P<0.05).</p
