2010 Annual Report 1a.Objectives (from AD-416) We will: (1) isolate and identify attractive olfactory stimuli associated with host- and mate-finding for adult plum curculio using gas chromatography coupled with electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD) and mass spectrometry (MS); (2) develop effective deployment strategies for newly identified olfactory stimuli to manipulate host- and mate-finding behavior and promote aggregation of the plum curculio within commercial apple orchards. 1b.Approach (from AD-416) We will isolate and identify attractive olfactory stimuli for adult plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst). This information will be used by both parties to develop a multi-lifestage management strategy for the plum curculio. "Specialty Crops Research Initiative" 3.Progress Report There has been no progress to report on this project as we are still in the process of hiring a support scientist to carry out this work.
