Campoletis chlorideaeUchida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is an important larval endoparasitoid of the cotton bollwormHelicoverpa armigera(Hübner). A better understanding of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) employed byC. chlorideaeto locate hosts will contribute towards the biological control of this notorious crop pest. In this study, we first investigated the electrophysiological and behavioral responses ofC. chlorideaeto 19 volatile compounds emitted by herbivore-infested plants. Eleven odorants induced EAG responses ofC. chlorideae, while only two compounds,cis-jasmone andcis-3-hexenyl acetate, were attractive to the parasitoid in Y-tube olfactometer assays. Next, we used two- and four-choice tests in cage settings to investigate the parasitism rate ofH. armigeralarvae byC. chlorideaeon tobacco plants treated with different doses ofcis-jasmone,cis-3-hexenyl acetate, and their mixtures. Results showed that the parasitism rate ofH. armigerawas significantly higher on the plants treated withcis-jasmone orcis-3-hexenyl acetate, and their optimal dose for both compounds was 1 mg. However, the mixtures ofcis-jasmone andcis-3-hexenyl acetate did not increaseH. armigeraparasitism rate byC. chlorideaewhen compared with control groups. Our results indicate that the single compoundscis-jasmone andcis-3-hexenyl acetate, at certain doses, enhance parasitic efficiency ofC. chlorideae, but their mixtures negate this effect. These results will help us in the exploitation ofC. chlorideaeas biological control agent to reduce the populations ofH. armigera.
