Abstract: Asias halodendri is one of important polyphagous wood-boring beetle damaged on hardwoods. The aim of this experiment was to find which active parts of jujube varieties have attractive effect. Taking Muzao, Goutouzao, Zanghuangzao, Hupingzao, and Junzao as experimental materials, olfactory behavioral responses of A. halodendri to volatiles emanating from Cultivars of jujube trees were tested by Y-tube olfactometers. The result showed that response rates of female and male adult A. halodendri to volatiles emanating from Muzao leaves were 70.00% and 69.23%, respectively. Muzao leaves had obvious attractant to male and female beetles (P<0.05). Response rates of female and male adult A. halodendri to volatiles of Goutouzao twigs were the highest, being 77.42% and73.68%, respectively. Female and male adult A. halodendr were strongly attracted to Goutouzao twigs (P<0.01). In addition, female adult A. halodendr also attracted to Muzao twigs (P<0.05). All volatiles of flower had neither obvious attractant nor repellent to female and male adult A. halodendr(P>0.05). Muzao volatiles had good attractant to A. halodendr, with a good development and application prospects for control this beetle.
