Electrophysiological responses of carrot psyllids (Trioza apicalis), in different phases of their life cycle, to volatile carrot and conifer compounds
Carrot psyllids (Trioza apicalis) pose a constant threat to carrot production in parts of Europe, and treatments with chemical insecticides are common. To be able to develop alternative control tactics, more knowledge about the psyllid's host-finding behaviour and underlying physiology is needed. Using single-sensillum recordings from overwintered and non-overwintered males and females, we found e
