| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated whether plants were induced attraction of natural enemies and avoidance of an insect pest by treatment of prohydrojasmon (PDJ) [propyl (1RS,2RS)-(3-oxo-2-pentylcyclopentyl) acetate] solution which is the concentration of 0.05%. In laboratory experiments, volatiles of kale treated with the PDJ solution attracted more Cotesia vestalis and Propylea japonica than kale treated distilled water, and volatiles of sweet basil treated with the PDJ solution repelled more Myzus persicae than clean air. In field experiments, kales treated with the PDJ solution did not attracted more Cotesia vestalis than kale treated distilled water. Headspace analyses of kale treated with the PDJ solution showed that the treatment induced α-pinene, sabinene and limonene.
