The invention discloses a
volatile substance with attraction activity on tomato leaf miners in tomatoes. The
volatile substance comprises any one or a mixture of four of tomato volatile matters including cis-3-hexenol (leaf
alcohol), beta-
phellandrene,
nonanal and 4-ethylbenzaldehyde. When the volatile substances are used as a mixture, cis-3-hexenol (leaf
alcohol), beta-
phellandrene,
nonanal and 4-ethylbenzaldehyde are mixed according to the volume ratio of 3.5: 3.8: 1: 6.7, and the volatile substances have an attractive effect on adult tomato leaf miners. A Y-type olfactometer is used for determining behavior reactions of female and male adults of the tomato
leaf miner to four EAD active compounds and mixtures thereof under different concentrations, and beta-
phellandrene and the mixtures with the concentration reaching 10 mu g / mu l or above have a remarkable or extremely remarkable attraction effect on the female adults of the tomato
leaf miner. The highest attraction rate of the leaf
alcohol to female adult tomato leaf miners can reach 76.7% and 80%, the leaf alcohol with the concentration of 100 micrograms / microliter has a remarkable attraction effect on the female adult tomato leaf miners and the male adult tomato leaf miners, and the attraction rate of the leaf alcohol to the male adult tomato leaf miners can reach 70% and 73.3%.
