The invention provides an
aphid pest attractant. According to the
aphid pest attractant, benzyl isobutyrate is used as a
myzus persicae attractant. The invention finds that benzyl isobutyrate can be specifically bound with
odorant binding protein of
myzus persicae on a
molecular level, so that the benzyl isobutyrate can be used as an effective
active ingredient of the
myzus persicae attractant. Benzyl isobutyrate is adopted as an
active component of the attractant, so that the trend response to myzus persicae can be remarkably enhanced, and the attraction efficiency can be improved. Meanwhile, the compound is clear in structure, controllable in source, convenient to prepare and apply on a large scale, beneficial to reducing the use amount of chemical pesticides and reducing the risk of environmental
pollution, suitable for green prevention and control of myzus persicae and good in application prospect.
