Abstract
Mated and virgin females and virgin males of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.), moths responded via directed upwind flight in the glass tube olfactometer to volatiles from floral extracts of cotton, Gossypium barbadense L. (Malvaceae). Significantly more mated females landed on the glass plates treated with each of the extracts, than on the control. Virgin males and females landed in significant numbers on the glass plates treated with the methylene chloride extract of debracted flowers than on control glass plated treated only with the methylene chloride solvent. As a matter of fact, the present study revealed that volatiles extracted from certain parts of cotton plants, attracted both sexes of the
cotton leaf-worm moths instead of attracting only one sex as the pheromones do. It is noteworthy that, this is the first time to report such results in Egypt.
