Abstract

Female sex pheromone components have been identified for seven species of Chilo, pests of cereals and sugar-cane. Synthetic pheromone blends for C. suppressalis, C. sacchariphagus, C. sacchariphagus indicus, C. auricilius and C. zacconius have shown satisfactory attractiveness to male moths in the field. Blends for C. partellus and C. infuscatellus seem to be incomplete. Pheromones and related compounds have been investigated for control of C. suppressalis by mating disruption in the Philippines, Japan, Spain and Korea. These studies have shown not only trap catch reduction, but also reduced viable egg production in field cages and effective control of damage by this pest on areas up to 60 ha. Initial studies have been carried out on control of C. sacchariphagus by mating disruption in Mauritius, and both the pheromone and an inhibitor have been shown to cause trap catch reduction of C. auricilius in India. Attempts have been made to control C. sacchariphagus indicus by mass trapping in India.

Résumé

Les composantes phéromones femelles ont été examinés pour sept espèces de Chilo, insectes nuisibles de riz, céréales et de la canne à sucre. Des mélanges synthétiques de phéromone pour C. suppressalis, C. sacchariphagus, C. sacchariphagus indicus, C. auricilius et C. zacconius ont montré une attraction satisfaisante aux papillons mâles sur le terrain. Les melanges pour C. partellus et C. infuscatellus semblent d'être inachevés. Les phéromones et composés apparentés ont étés examinés pour la réglementation de C. suppressalis par le dérangement de l'accouplement aux Philippines, au Japon, en Espagne et à la Coree. Ces études ont illustré non seulement la réduction des prises par pièges mais en plus, un amoindrissement de la production des oeufs viables dans les cages sur le terrain et une réglementation efficace des dommages par cet insecte nuisible sur les aires qui mesurent jusqu'à 60 hectares. Des études du début ont été poursuivies sur la suppression de C. sacchariphagus par le dérangement de l'accouplement sur l'Ile de Maurice, et non seulement le phéromone mais aussi l'inhibiteur montrent qui'ils produsant la réduction des prises par pièges de C. auricilius en Inde. On a fait des tentatives de réglementer C. sacchariphagus indicus par l'utilisation de pièges en serie en Inde.
