Headspace composition, collected from intact cabbage plants and cabbage plants infested with either Pieris brassicae L. or P. rapae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) first instar larvae, was determined by GC‐MS. Twenty‐one volatiles were identified in the headspace of intact plants. Twenty‐two volatiles were identified in the headspace of plants infested by P. brassicae larvae, 2 of which, Z‐3‐hexenyl butyrate and Z‐3‐hexenyl isovalerate, were not detected in the headspace of either intact or P. rapae damaged plants. In the headspace of the latter, 21 compounds were identified, all of which were also produced by intact plants. No significant quantitative differences were found between headspace composition of the plants damaged by one or the other caterpillar species. Major differences between intact and caterpillar‐damaged plants in contribution to the headspace profile were revealed for hexyl acetate, Z‐3‐hexenyl acetate, myrcene, sabinene and 1, 8‐cineole. The larval endoparasitoid Cotesia glomerata L. was attracted by the volatiles emanating from B. oleracea damaged by P. brassicae first instar larvae. C. rubecula L., a specialized larval endoparasitoids of P. rapae, was attracted by the volatiles released from the B. oleracea ‐ P. rapae plant‐host complex. This shows that cabbage plants kept under the conditions of headspace collection produce attractive volatiles for both parasitoids.
