BACKGROUND
Automated aerosol puffers releasing behaviorally active volatile organic compounds can deter insect pests in crops. During 2016, we tested the efficacy of aerosol puffer arrays emitting 1‐octen‐3‐ol at reducing Drosophila suzukii oviposition in fall‐bearing raspberries in Western New York State. During 2017, we compared the performance of aerosol puffers with a passive diffusion release...
Herbivorous insects may benefit from avoiding the smell produced by phytopathogens infecting plant host tissue if the infected tissue reduces insect fitness. However, in many cases the same species of phytopathogen can also infect host plant tissues that do not directly affect herbivore fitness. Thus, insects may benefit from differentiating between pathogen odors emanating from food and nonfood tissues...
