| Research Abstract |
This research is about a basic study to prevent damage of crop from crop-damaging insect, especially whitefly. To initiate mating behavior, the whitefly communicates each other by acoustic signal of small amplitude. By radiating communication signal to whitefly artificially, disturbance of behavior of whitefly, which results in failure of mating, is expected. We measured the acoustic signal of whitefly for mating and evaluated its characteristics. Then, we radiated the sound of whitefly artificially to whitefly. The obtained results suggest that the radiation of the sound seems to have some effects on whitefly.
