Abstract

Electro antennogram (EAG) responses from male and female antennae of rice moth Corcyra cephalonica (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were observed for 18 plant volatiles at four concentrations (0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/ml). Mean EAG amplitude relative to hexanal, which was used as standard, revealed the significant differences in response to these from both male and female antennae. Among all the compounds (R)-(+)-Limonene, hexanal, cis-jasmone and acetophenone were found to be eliciting significant response from both male and female antennae.
