Reproduction and olfactory behavioral responses of codling moth,Cydia pomonella(L.), females to synthetic α-farnesene were observed in the laboratory as well as their repro- duction behaviors in an apple orchard. Calling levels were lifted and ovipositional peaks were advanced in codling moth females at presence of 1µg and 0.1µg ofα-farnesene, respec- tively. Mated females of codling moth more actively responded to 0.01µgα-farnesene with walking and wing-fanning while walking than to other doses (0.001, 0.1, 1, 10µg ) and control.

The results show thatα-farnesene plays important roles in the behaviors of codling moth females. However, the differences between responses toα-farnesene and those to apple vola- tiles by codling moth females indicate that components other than α-farnesene in apple volatiles also have biological activities.
