Pecans are attacked by a complex of aphids throughout the southeast. The feeding damage of the aphids reduces photosynthesis and can cause early leaf abscission. Augmentation of natural enemies in pecan orchards is a viable alternative to insecticide application. The green lacewing, Chrysoperla rufilabris Burmeister, is an important predator found in pecan orchards. Food sprays that contain wheast, tryptophan, or caryophyllene have demonstrated attractiveness to green lacewings in other crop systems. Female lacewings need a protein and carbohydrate source for egg production. Our objective was to increase the number of lacewings and lacewing eggs in pecan orchards prior to the second seasonal peak of aphid populations. We hypothesized that these compounds would attract lacewings to pecan orchards and promote increased oviposition. We tested this hypothesis in both field and laboratory experiments. Field tests were evaluated on terminals of 20 yr old trees and our laboratory experiments used y-tube olfactometer assays.
