<b>Attraction of </b><b><i>Telenomus remus</i></b><b> to egg volatiles of </b><b><i>Spodoptera litura</i></b><b> and oviposition-induced plant volatiles from tobacco (</b><b><i>Nicotiana tabacum</i></b><b>)</b>

We explored the behavioral responses of the egg parasitoid <i>T. remus</i> to volatiles emitted from various sources, including <i>S. litura</i> egg masses, healthy tobacco plants, tobacco plants naturally infested with <i>S. litura</i> eggs, and tobacco plants artificially inoculated with <i>S. litura</i> egg masses, as well as some chemicals from the four sources identified by GC-MS under laboratory conditions. Our findings indicate that volatiles from <i>S. litura</i> egg masses and tobacco plants naturally infested with <i>S. litura</i> eggs are attractive to <i>T. remus</i>. Additionally, binary and ternary combinations of six chemicals (Cis-3-hexenyl acetate, decanal, (+)-α-pinene, linalool, tetracosane, and heneicosane) at concentrations of 1 and 10 ng/µL also elicited attraction in the parasitoid.
