Abstract: By using EAG instrument and “Y” pipe, this study examined the EAG responses of Anoplophora glabripennis adults to 12 kinds of plant volatiles, including ci-3-hexen-1-ol, β-myrcene, phellandrene, 3-carene, S-αpinene, camphene, R-αpinene, S-βpinene, D-limonene, ocimene, ethyl acetate, and hexane at 5 concentrations, and the behavioral responses of the adults to 9 kinds of the volatiles, aimed to provide basic information for the development of attractants and repellents to A. glabripennsis. The antennae of the female and male adults had obvious EAG responses to 12 kinds of the volatiles (except for the male adults to S-αpinene), especially at the concentrations of 0.4 and 2 mol·L-1. There exited significant differences (P<0.05 or
P<0.01) in the feeling strength of the antennae to the volatiles between female and male adults. The results of behavior test showed that higher concentrations ocimene and β-myrcene had obvious repellent effect (P<0.01) (except myrcene to the female adults), S-αpinene, S-βpinene, ethyl acetate, R-αpinene, phellandrene, and camphene had obvious attracting effect (P<0.01) (except S-αpinene to the male adults and camphene to the female adults), whereas D-limonene had no obvious repellent and attracting effect on the male and female adults.
