| description | <i>Monochamus saltuarius</i> is a vector of <i>Bursaphelenchus xylophilus</i> and has caused massive mortality in pine trees in Japan, South Korea, and the middle temperate zone of China. In this study, the feeding preferences of <i>M. saltuarius</i> to four common host pine species in the middle temperate zone of China were investigated in a laboratory. The volatiles of the four host pine species were sampled and analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The responses of <i>M. saltuarius</i> to host pine tree volatiles were measured using a four-arm olfactometer. The results showed that: (1) the preference of <i>M. saltuarius</i> for <i>Pine tabulaeformis</i> was significantly higher than the other ones. (2) The composition and content of the volatiles of the four tested host pine twigs were different, and the relative content of α-pinene was the highest. (3) <i>M. saltuarius</i> was highly sensitive to α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, and 3-carene, and the attracting effect was enhanced by the mixture of volatile components. This study provides a reference for the development and application of attractants for <i>M. saltuarius</i>. Our results would be helpful in controlling <i>M. saltuarius</i> and pine wilt disease. |
