Abstract

Y-tube olfactometer and net cages experiments were used to investigate the repellent effects of different celery varieties in biotype Q of sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), on cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (Cucurbitaceae). Y-tube olfactometer tests showed that whiteflies have strong repellent behavior to different celery varieties. Intercropping different celery varieties with cucumbers had significant repellent effects and oviposition deterrent effects in whiteflies. Results obtained demonstrated that the Western Europe celery varieties, Juventus and Ventura, and the Chinese celery variety, Jinnan, had good repellent efficacy against the whitefly. D-Limonene, β-myrcene, and (E)-β-ocimene might be the main active components in celery that affected the selection behavior of B. tabaci. In Western Europe celery varieties, D-limonene was the main volatile component for the repellent effects in B. tabaci; however, the two Chinese celery varieties that showed repellent effects had relatively higher volatilization quantities of β-myrcene than of D-limonene.
