Overview

This study utilizes a comprehensive approach to identify repellents for the red palm weevil, a major pest of palm trees. The study systematically tested volatiles from 79 essential oils (EOs) in traps with pheromone attractants. Two groups of four EOs were found to significantly reduce pheromone trap catches, indicating their repellent effects. The study highlights the effectiveness of this systematic approach in identifying repellents for insect pests.

Original Abstract of the Article :
The push-pull approach using semiochemicals in pest control requires both an attractant and a repellent. Many previous studies have arbitrarily tested one or more known insect repellents or plant essential oils (EOs) hoping to find repellents of an insect pest. We used a comprehensive approach that ...See full text at original site
