Resum
Non-pheromone semiochemicals or allelochemicals (kairomones, synomones, allomones) are often derived from, or are similar to,
host plant odours and depending on their use, these semiochemicals may have to compete with the same or similar odours emanating
from adjacent host plants with unknown consequences on trapping efficacy. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of the
non-pheromone thrips attractant methyl isonicotinate (MI) as a lure for Western flower thrips (WFT; Frankliniella occidentalis) over a
range of Prunus persicae nectarine plant growth stages (flowering, green fruit, ripe fruit), when competition from different host plant
odours may vary, and different numbers of thrips can be present, in a Catalan nectarine orchard in 2014 and 2015. Significant 2.4–3.9
× increases in WFT numbers in traps with MI compared with those without MI were consistent over the season (flowering, green fruit,
mature fruit) despite overall differences in thrips numbers on these different occasions. These results suggest that MI is an effective
lure throughout the nectarine growth stages despite the presumed presence of competing and changing host plant odours. Trap type and
colour and MI release rate may be important for improving overall trap efficacy.
