Description |
Semiochemicals are playing very important role in modifying the behaviour of the insects [1]. At present, Coleopterans have been studied a lot using semiochemicals [2, 3 and 4]. Host attractants are referred as kairomones which comes under the category of semiochemicals. The kairomones are multi components of organic compounds such as simple aromatics, terpenes, aliphatic alcohols etc [5]. The kairomones can be used as attractant for insects either male or female/ both. Identification of kairomones has been facilitated by the EAG technique. The pseudostem extract for this investigation was prepared by many methods. Literature survey revealed that no work has been reported so far about the use of pseudostem extract obtained from microwave oven assisted extraction for investigating the weevils. Hence, an attempt was made to prepare the micro oven assisted extraction of banana pseudostem and use the same in electroantennogram Microwave oven assisted extract was prepared from banana pseudostem and tested its kairomonal activities on O. longicollis using Electroantennogram technique. In addition, the results were tested with two other methods such as Solvent extraction and Air-entrainment extraction for comparison of its activities. It was found that the Micro oven assisted extract elicited the maximum EAG response in female, whereas, Solvent extract was found higher antennal activity in male only and the Air-entrainment extract elicited poor response both in male and female O. longicollis. |
