Learning is not required for the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi to recognize pea plants that are damaged by its specific host, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Du et al, 1998 Powell et al., 1998). This parasitoid is far more attracted by pea plants infested by this host than by pea plants infested by a non-host, Aphis fabae. Implicated in the specificity of the signal is 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, a substance that was only detected in the odor profile of plants infested by A. pisum (Wadhams et al., 1999) the pure compound was found to be highly attractive to A. ervi (Du etal., 1998).

Castanospermine [83] and DMDP [84] have both been shown to have feeding deterrent activity against aphids and castanospermine reduced the survival rate. However, appreciable levels of swainsonhte were detected in the honeydew from a pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) colony opportunistically feeding on Astragalus lentiginosus and it was not a deterrent to this species [83],...

Quinolizidine alkaloids, pure or in mixtures of plant extract, can be used to protect plants against noxious insects. Scientific data have shown that quinolizidine alkaloids play a role in the resistance of some lupine varieties to the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) due to their ability to inhibit the development of this pest population. Evidence also points out that alkaloid extracts have an important influence on the feeding and development of larvae and on potato beetle mortality. Researchers concluded that the toxicity and restricted larval development was correlated with alkaloid content. In this research, the strongest action of the extract contained 1.6-3.3% alkaloids. Spraying potatoes with lupine extract seems to be...
