Abstract

Lasioderma serricorne is a serious cosmopolitan pest of stored products. The aim of this study was to prospect attractive semiochemicals from stored soybeans used in the host location by this pest. Three different varieties of soybeans cultivated in Brazil were evaluated. The attractiveness of grains and extracts prepared by dynamic headspace collection was evaluated in 4-arm olfactometer behavioral bioassays, while the isolation and identification of the bioactive compounds were carried out using gas chromatography coupled to electroanthennography (GC-EAG) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Five EAG-active compounds were identified in the extracts of soybeans: 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol, 1-nonanol, linalool and limonene. The behavioral response of L. serricorne in 4-arm olfactometer bioassays to synthetic compounds was statistically significant for 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol, 1-nonanol and linalool, while the attraction for the 4-synthetic blend was comparable to that verified for the stored soybeans samples. The semiochemicals identified were shown to be applicable as food attractants in monitoring tools, within IPM strategies against L. serricorne in and around storage environments.
