✦ Synopsis

The present situation and future prospects for the use of semiochemicals for insect control is reviewed, with particular reference to the work being carried out at IACR-Rothamsted. The techniques used to identify pheromones and other semiochemicals, and the types of compound found in various insect classes, are described. The eΓΎ ects of such compounds on pests, their predators and other members of the ecosystem are considered in relation to the development of control strategies such as 'push-pull' or stimulo-deterrent diversionary strategies (SDDS).

Chemical cues enable female parasitic wasps to locate the eggs, larvae, or other life stages of the insects in or on which they place their eggs. These chemical signals, or semiochemicals, may be produced by the hosts and/or by the plants on which the hosts feed. The composition of the chemical sign

We investigate the coevolution of time of #owering and time of pollinator emergence in an obligate association between a plant and an insect that both pollinates and parasitizes #owers. Numerical analysis shows that the system in general evolves towards a time of #owering di!erent from the time favo

It is concluded that, on economic grounds, prevention of infestation by amelioration of the site and improvement in the vigour of the trees is more likely to be practical than remedial spraying of infested trees.
