First recording of vibration signals caterpillars Tecia solanivora (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in potato tubers

The vibrations caused by the caterpillars of Tecia solanivora were registered in potato tubers. Vibrations have a fairly high intensity, but it was not possible to identify patterns in the structure of the amplitude-time and frequency structure of the signals. Using the example of a model predator-Picromerus bidens, it was tested whether these signals could be an effective stimulus for entomophages. Vibrations can be used as an additional method for detecting caterpillars at an early stage of contamination. © 2022, Gaurav Society of Agricultural Research Information Centre. All rights reserved.
