Title: Composition containing attractant of noxious arthropod comprising plant-derived component and analogue of same

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     This invention relates to a composition for attracting noxious arthropods, a method for controlling the behavior of noxious arthropod populations through the attraction, and particularly, a method for controlling and forecasting plant damage caused by noxious arthropods. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Damage to cultivated crops by noxious arthropods is becoming a global problem. There are some noxious arthropods that transmit viruses and cause serious damage to crops by inducing viral diseases therein. However, in the case of microscopic noxious arthropods that thrive in closed locations such as buds, detection at low densities and control using agricultural chemicals are difficult. Moreover, reduced control effects due to the appearance of resistance to insecticides and effects on the environment attributable to the use of insecticides are coming to be viewed as problems. Thus, in order to reduce damage to cultivated crops and plants, there is a need for a method for detecting noxious arthropod populations and suppressing the noxious arthropod population density. 
     Noxious arthropods utilize volatile chemicals produced and released by plants in order to use host plants. Several plant-derived compounds act as attractants of noxious arthropods, and noxious arthropods can be attracted by using a suitable trap with attractant (Patent Document 1; Patent Document 2; Non Patent Document 1; Non Patent Document 2). 
     A kairomone is defined as a chemical produced by a certain species of organism that is disadvantageous to the species that produces it but has an advantageous effect on another species that receives it. In addition, chemicals produced by plants that attract an herbivore that receives it are also kairomones, and these chemicals are referred to as plant-derived kairomones. Although there are numerous chemicals that have been found to be attractant compounds, aromatic compounds are known to be plant-derived kairomones. Numerous plant kairomones have been reported to be attractants of various types of noxious arthropods. For example, leaf alcohol, esters thereof, methyl isoeugenol and analogue compounds thereof have been clearly determined to be kairomones that attract male and female adult  Anomala cuprea  (Patent Document 1; Patent Document 2), and traps using these chemicals as attractants are used in monitoring tool (method). In addition, a flower aromatic in the form of benzyl acetate and six derivative components thereof have been clearly determined to attract  Cryptomeria twing  (Patent Document 3; Patent Document 4; Patent Document 5), and traps using these chemicals as attractants are already being used in monitoring tool (method). 
     Plant-derived kairomones have been reported to be attractants of  Thrips . For example, although p-anisaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, benzaldehyde, o-anisaldehyde, β-farnesene, eugenol, 3-phenylpropylaldehyde, monoterpenes (such as geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol or eucalyptol) and monoterpene esters (such as isobornyl valerate, isobornyl pivalate or lavandulyl valerate) have been reported to be attractants of  Frankliniella occidentalis , the degree of that attraction varies (Non Patent Document 3; Non Patent Document 4; Non Patent Document 5; Non Patent Document 6; Patent Document 6; Patent Document 7; Patent Document 8). 
     In addition, ethyl nicotinate and benzaldehyde have been reported to show attractiveness to  Thrips obscuratus , while anisaldehyde and benzaldehyde have been reported to show attractiveness to  Thrips tabaci . In addition, although methyl anthranilate and ethyl anthranilate have been reported to attract  Thrips hawaiiensis  and  Thrips coloratus , they have been reported to not attract  Frankliniella occidentalis  or  Thrips tabaci  (Non Patent Document 3; Non Patent Document 7; Non Patent Document 9). Analogues of plant-derived kairomones refer to compounds that show kairomone-like activity but are not derived from plants. For example, ethyl nicotinate and methyl m-aminobenzoate are analogues of plant-derived compounds in the form of methyl nicotinate and methyl o-aminobenzoate, respectively, and although they are not plant-derived compounds, they have been reported to be attractants of  Thrips  (Non Patent Document 3; Non Patent Document 5; Non Patent Document 7; Non Patent Document 8). 
     In addition to plant-derived aromatic compounds, synthetic pyridine derivative compounds (methyl isonicotinate, ethyl isonicotinate, propyl isonicotinate, isopropyl isonicotinate, decyl isonicotinate, ethyl 2-chloroisonicotinate, 4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl) pyridine, di-isopropyl isonicotinamide, 4-formyl pyridine, methyl 4-pyridyl ketone, ethyl 4-pyridyl ketone, propyl 4-pyridyl ketone) have been reported to show attractiveness to  Thrips tabaci, Frankliniella occidentalis  and  Thrips obscuratus  (Patent Document 6; Patent Document 7). 
     The above-mentioned chemicals may show attractiveness to different degrees depending on the type of  Thrips , and have been reported to show species specificity. 
     However, high attractiveness does not show to noxious arthropods when using the above-mentioned attractants alone. Moreover, when using alone, there were cases in which high attractiveness does not show simultaneously to multiple species of noxious arthropods, and these attractants were inadequate for use as control methods against noxious arthropods (such as  Thrips ).

     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Technical Problem 
     As has been described above, the background art does not disclose substances that show a fixed level of action and effects in terms of attracting arthropods that are noxious to plants and are not necessarily satisfactory. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a means capable of attracting noxious arthropods more powerfully than the compositions described in the prior art references, more effectively controlling the behavior of noxious arthropod populations as a result thereof, and in particular, controlling and/or forecasting damage to plants caused by noxious arthropods. 
     Solution Problem 
     The inventors of the present invention conducted research for enhancing attracting effects on noxious arthropods in order to solve the above-mentioned object or problems. More specifically, as a result of examining the effects of the weight of various compounds showing significant attractiveness on noxious arthropods for the purpose of protecting plants by controlling noxious arthropods, it was clearly determined that the weight at which each compound shows significant attractiveness varies for each compound. 
     On the basis of this finding, when studies were conducted on chemicals and combinations thereof showing significant attractiveness on noxious arthropods, in the case of combining two or more types of known attractant compounds, synergistic effect was found to be demonstrated that far surpassed the case of using a single compound with respect to attracting noxious arthropods. 
     Thus, according to the present invention, a noxious arthropod attractant composition that solves the above-mentioned problems by containing at least two types of compounds selected from the group of compounds selected from plant-derived kairomones and analogues thereof consisting of p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, o-anisaldehyde, β-farnesene, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate, eugenol, 3-phenylpropylaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, eucalyptol, squalene and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde. 
     Advantageous Effects of Invention 
     As has been previously described, since the composition of the present invention has a superior noxious arthropod attracting effect, it makes it possible to efficiently attract and capture noxious arthropods, efficiently inhibit the density of noxious arthropods that cause damage to crops, or predict the seasonal variations in emergence of noxious arthropods. The control of noxious arthropods by using the above-mentioned composition for the purpose of demonstrating such actions and effects makes it possible to effectively protect various types of plants. 
     In the present invention, the phrase “synergistic effect” refers to an action by which the attracting effect of a composition combining compounds selected from two or more types of plant-derived kairomones and analogues thereof on a specific noxious arthropod population is significantly higher than the effect expected of that composition. In general, a synergistic attracting effect expected when mixing two given types of active ingredient compounds and using for treatment is determined from Colby&#39;s equation indicated with the following Equation 1: 
         E=X+Y −( X*Y )/100  (1)
 
     wherein, 
     X: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound A; 
     Y: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound B; and 
     E: attraction rate expected when treating by mixing attractive compound A and attractive compound B (expected attraction rate value). 
     In the case the attraction rates of two types of combined compounds are equal to or greater than the expected attraction rate value, the compounds are considered to show a synergistic attracting effect (refer to S. R. Colby, (1967) Weeds, 15, 20-22). 
     Similarly, a synergistic attracting effect expected when mixing three given types of attractive compounds and using for treatment is determined from Colby&#39;s equation indicated with the following Equation 2: 
         E=X+Y+Z −( X*Y+X*Z+Y*Z )/100+ X*Y*Z/ 10000   (2)
 
     wherein, 
     X: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound A; 
     Y: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound B; 
     Z: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound C; and 
     E: attraction rate expected when treating by mixing attractive compound A, attractive compound B and attractive compound C (expected attraction rate value). 
     In the case the attraction rates of three types of combined compounds are equal to or greater than the expected attraction rate value, the compounds are considered to show a synergistic attracting effect (refer to above reference). 
     This type of effect can be easily confirmed by carrying out laboratory bioassays or field testing. Thus, if it were possible to confirm this effect, then any ratios may be used for the ratios of a combination of compounds selected from two or more plant-derived kairomones and analogues thereof. However, in the case of a combination of two types of compounds, for example, although there are no particular limitations thereon, the weight ratio of the combination of two types of compounds can be 0.0999 to 99.9001:99.9001 to 0.0999, preferably 0.1996 to 99.8004:99.8004 to 0.1996, and more preferably 0.99 to 90.01:90.01 to 0.99. 
     The weight ratio of the above-mentioned combination of three types of compound is such that, in the case of a combination of three types of compounds, for example, although there are no particular limitations thereon, the weight ratio of the combination of three types of compounds can be 0.0998 to 99.8004:99.8004 to 0.0998:0.0998 to 99.8004, preferably 0.1992 to 99.6016:99.6016 to 0.1992:0.1992 to 99.6016, and more preferably 0.98039 to 98.03922:98.03922 to 0.98039: 0.98039 to 98.03922. 
     All chemicals used in the present invention are known compounds, and these compounds can be obtained from commercially available preparations or can be synthesized according to known methods. The composition of the present invention can be used by using a mixture of the above-mentioned two or more types of plant-derived kairomones and analogues thereof at the above-mentioned mixing ratios either as is or after preparing a solution thereof by dissolving in a suitable solvent such as hexane, xylene, acetone or dichloromethane, and impregnating a suitable support such as paper or cloth with this solution. In addition, the above-mentioned two or more types of attracting compounds can also be used by preparing separately and combining at the same location. 
     A trap that uses the composition of the present invention as an attracting source can be used by setting up at a location where noxious arthropods inhabit or in an area in which they fly, namely indoors, within a facility or outdoors. 
     The composition of the present invention can also be used as a method for forecasting damage to plants caused by noxious arthropods or as a method for suppressing that damage to a minimum. 
     The present invention is a noxious arthropod attractant composition in which plant-derived kairomones or analogues thereof, used for the purpose of protecting plants by attracting noxious arthropods, are at least two types selected from the group consisting of p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, o-anisaldehyde, β-farnesene, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate, eugenol, 3-phenylpropylaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, eucalyptol, squalene and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde.

     The population of noxious arthropods can be investigated by counting the number of captured organisms. The need for control is judged based on estimated population density. A method for removing noxious arthropods provided by the present invention is required to capture a large number of noxious arthropods. Conversely, rapid control is not necessarily required in the case of the low density of noxious arthropods. 
     For example, the composition of the present invention can be set up in a trap. This type of trap is designed to as to release an effective amount of an attractant. The trap is set up at a location where noxious arthropods are present or are predicted to be present. The attractant attracts noxious arthropods to the trap. Subsequently, by setting up an insecticide in the trap that shows lethal effects on noxious arthropods, for example, noxious arthropods attracted into the trap can be eradicated. Alternatively, noxious arthropods can also be attracted and captured by inserting an adhesive sheet.

     EXAMPLES 
     Although the following provides a more detailed explanation of the present invention together with test examples indicating the effects and so forth thereof, they are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention. 
     Test Example 1 
     Hexane solutions were prepared respectively containing single compounds selected from among p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde. Each single compound was prepared at five concentration levels consisting of 0.01 μg, 0.1 μg, 1 μg, 10 μg and 100 μg. After impregnating pieces of filter paper with these solutions, the filter paper was affixed on a plastic vial cap using adhesive tape and set up in a water trap containing a surfactant. After releasing 30 adult female  Frankliniella occidentalis  into an acrylic cage, the water trap containing the above-mentioned attractants was set up in the cage. 24 hours later, the number of  Frankliniella occidentalis  captured in the water trap was counted and the attraction rate was calculated using Equation 1. The results are shown in TABLE 1. 
       Attraction rate=(No. of captured individuals in treatment−no. of captured individuals in untreatment)*100/(total no. released per cage)  (1)

     Test Example 2 
     Mixed hexane solutions were prepared respectively containing two types of compounds selected from among p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde. The weight of each compound was adjusted to the weight that showed the highest attraction rate based on Test Example 1. After impregnating pieces of filter paper with the mixed solution of the two types of compounds, the filter paper was affixed on a plastic vial cap using adhesive tape and set up in a water trap containing a surfactant. After releasing 30 adult female  Frankliniella occidentalis  into an acrylic cage, the water trap containing the above-mentioned mixed attractants was set up in the cage. 24 hours later, the number of  Frankliniella occidentalis  captured in the water trap was counted and the attraction rate was calculated using Equation 1. In addition, hexane solutions were also prepared containing each of the single compounds at their respective prescribed concentrations for the sake of comparison, and those solutions were tested in the same manner. The results are shown in TABLE 2. 
       Attraction rate=(No. of captured individuals in treatment−no. of captured individuals in untreatment)*100/(total no. released per cage)  (1)
 
     In general, a synergistic attracting effect expected when mixing two given types of attractive compounds and using for treatment is determined from Colby&#39;s equation indicated with the following Equation 2: 
         E=X+Y −( X*Y )/100  (2)
 
     wherein, 
     X: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound A; 
     Y: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound B; and 
     E: attraction rate expected when treating by mixing attractive compound A and attractive compound B (expected attraction rate value).

     Test Example 3 
     Mixed hexane solutions were prepared containing three types of compounds selected from among p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde. The weight of each compound was adjusted to the weight that showed the highest attraction rate based on Test Example 1. After impregnating pieces of filter paper with the mixed solution of the three types of compounds, the filter paper was affixed on a plastic vial cap using adhesive tape and set up in a pan trap containing a surfactant. After releasing 30 adult female  Frankliniella occidentalis  into an acrylic cage, the water trap containing the above-mentioned mixed attractants was set up in the cage. 24 hours later, the number of  Frankliniella occidentalis  captured in the water trap was counted and the attraction rate was calculated using Equation 1. In addition, hexane solutions were also prepared containing each of the single agents at their respective prescribed concentrations for the sake of comparison, and those solutions were tested in the same manner. The results are shown in TABLE 3. 
     In general, a synergistic attracting effect expected when mixing three given types of attractive compounds and using for treatment is determined from Colby&#39;s equation indicated with the following Equation 3: 
         E=X+Y+Z −( X*Y+X*Z+Y*Z )/100+ X*Y*Z/ 10000   (3)
 
     wherein, 
     X: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound A; 
     Y: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound B; 
     Z: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound C; and 
     E: attraction rate expected when treating by mixing attractive compound A, attractive compound B and attractive compound C (expected attraction rate value).

     Test Example 4 
     Mixed hexane solutions were prepared respectively containing two types of compounds selected from among p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde. The weight of each compound was adjusted to 1 μg. After impregnating pieces of filter paper (3 mm 2 ) with the mixed solution of the two types of compounds, the filter paper was set up at the head of a plastic tube (length of 9 cm, 5 mm 2  in diameters). An adult  Tetranychus urticae  was released into the end of plastic tube. Among 10 minutes, the number of  T. urticae  contacted the filter paper was counted and the attraction rate was calculated using Equation 1. In addition, hexane solutions were also prepared containing each of the single compounds at their respective prescribed concentrations for the sake of comparison, and those solutions were tested in the same manner. The results are shown in TABLE 4.

The weight of each compound was adjusted to 100 μg. After impregnating pieces of filter paper with the mixed solution of the two types of compounds, the filter paper was affixed on a plastic vial cap using adhesive tape and set up in a water trap containing a surfactant. After releasing 20 adult  Drosophila melanogaster  into an acrylic cage, the water trap containing the above-mentioned mixed attractants was set up in the cage. 24 hours later, the number of  D. melanogaster  captured in the water trap was counted and the attraction rate was calculated using Equation 1. In addition, hexane solutions were also prepared containing each of the single compounds at their respective prescribed concentrations for the sake of comparison, and those solutions were tested in the same manner. The results are shown in TABLE 5.

     Test Example 6 
     Mixed hexane solutions were prepared respectively containing two types of compounds selected from among p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, ethyl nicotinate, geraniol, linalool, nerol, citronellol, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, o-aminoacetophenone, o-anisidine, methyl m-aminobenzoate, methyl o-toluate and α-hexylcinnamaldehyde. The weight of each compound was adjusted to 1 μg. After impregnating pieces of filter paper (3 mm 2 ) with the mixed solution of the two types of compounds, the filter paper was affixed on a yellow sticky trap (1 cm 2 ). After releasing 10 adult  Thrips tabaci  into a plastic cup (150 ml), the yellow sticky trap containing the above-mentioned mixed attractants was set up at the side of the plastic cup. 24 hours later, the number of  T. tabaci  captured in the yellow sticky trap was counted and the attraction rate was calculated using Equation 1. In addition, hexane solutions were also prepared containing each of the single compounds at their respective prescribed concentrations for the sake of comparison, and those solutions were tested in the same manner. The results are shown in TABLE 6. 
       Attraction rate=(No. of captured individuals in treatment−no. of captured individuals in untreatment)*100/(total no. released per cup)  (1)
 
     In general, a synergistic attracting effect expected when mixing two given types of attractive compounds and using for treatment is determined from Colby&#39;s equation indicated with the following Equation 2: 
         E=X+Y −( X*Y )/100  (2)
 
     wherein, 
     X: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound A; 
     Y: attraction rate when treated with attractive compound B; 
     and 
     E: attraction rate expected when treating by mixing attractive compound A and attractive compound B (expected attraction rate value).
