A chemical ecology study was conducted of the rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax F. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and its egg parasitoid, Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). Headspace volatiles released into air were collected from panicles of several grass hosts that were either healthy or fed on by rice sink bugs for one, three and five days (induced volatile production). Gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer analysis was used to identify induced volatiles from these grass headspace samples. Limonene and to a lesser extent methyl salicylate were the major volatiles induced by rice stink bug feeding on rice panicles. Yellow sticky cards attached to yellow pyramid traps were baited with lures releasing limonene, methyl salicylate or a combination of both to determine their attractiveness to rice stink bug or beneficial arthropods. Six of these traps were placed in each of six sites adjacent to rice plantings in Arkansas. Traps were sampled biweekly for rice stink bugs, T. podisi and other insect species. Ten sweeps were made of the grass panicles adjacent to each of these traps to estimate density of rice stink bugs and its natural enemies.
