| Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this project was to isolate and utilize pheromones to affect mole cricket population dynamics on golf courses. Biologically active materials were found and, with further refinements, may be produced for commercial marketing. No previous research has been done with mole cricket pheromones. The current research could potentially develop into a new and environemtnally sound apporach to managing turf insect pests. Various glands and body parts were dissected from both male and female crickets. During the cricket flight season, acetone homogenate of the spermatheca (male crickets) and an unknown gland (female crickets) were biologically active and appeared to act as attractants (sex or aggregating pheromones). An alarm substance from the rectum (male and female) significantly reduced "fly-in" crickets. Currently, cooperation from the USDA-ARS research center in Peoria, Illinois is under consideration to determine the chemistry of these phermones." |
