- Abstract
Objetives: To evaluate the effect of calcium polysulfide on the olfactory response of Trigonospila unicaldasi to odors from citrus plants not attacked and attacked by Compsus viridivittatus. Scope: Calcium polysulfide in sublethal doses does not affect the olfactory response of T. unicaldasi. Methodology: The sublethal effects of calcium polysulfide on the ability of T. unicaldasi to detect volatiles from citrus plants infested with C. viridivittatus were evaluated through olfactometric experiments. Main results: The parasitoid T. unicaldasi can differentiate between odors of unattacked citrus plants and citrus plants attacked by C. viridivittatus and sprayed with calcium polysulfide. Conclusions: Calcium polysulfide at a concentration of 1.75% did not interfere with the olfactory response of T. unicaldasi fed on sprayed prey.
