European tarnished plant bug, Lygus rugulipennis (Heteroptera: Miridae), is a polyphagous pest damaging a range of arable and horticultural crops. Management is reliant upon chemical insecticides for control. These studies developed a synthetic semiochemical push–pull control strategy to reduce numbers of L. rugulipennis and subsequent fruit damage in UK strawberry crops. Using a series of small field experiments and testing in commercial strawberry crops we explored the efficacy of hexyl butyrate (HB) as the push element and female sex pheromone combined with phenylacetaldehyde as the pull element.

有效的“推挽”控制策略，使用合成的化学信息素对草莓上欧洲变色的植物臭虫（天蛾（Ligus rugulipennis））进行了有效的“推挽”控制

欧洲失去光泽的植物臭虫（Lygus rugulipennis）（多翅目：Miridae）是一种多食性害虫，破坏了多种耕作和园艺作物。管理依赖化学杀虫剂进行控制。这些研究开发了一种合成的化学信息学推挽控制策略，以减少英国草莓中的皱叶李胶数量和随后的果实损害。通过一系列小田间试验和商业草莓作物的测试，我们探索了丁酸己酯（HB）作为推动元素和雌性信息素与苯乙醛组合作为推动元素的功效。
