The Aphis gossypii is a major threat of cotton worldwide due to its short life cycle and rapid reproduction. Chemical control the primary method used manage aphid, which has significant environmental impacts. Therefore, prioritizing eco-friendly alternatives essential for managing aphid. ladybird, Hippodamia variegata , predominant predator Its performance in plantation directly linked chemical communication, where volatile compounds emitted from aphid-infested plants play important roles successful predation. Here, we comprehensively studied interaction between pest, natural enemy host by analyzing profiles using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We then utilized identified electrophysiological recording (EAG) behavioral assays. Through tests, initially demonstrated clear preference both larvae adults H. plants. Subsequently, 13 compounds, namely α-pinene, cis -3-hexenyl acetate, 4-ethyl-1-octyn-3-ol, β-ocimene, dodecane, E-β-farnesene, decanal, methyl salicylate, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, farnesol, DMNT, TMTT were All these electrophysiologically active induced detectable EAG responses adults. Y-tube olfactometer assays indicated that, with few exceptions larvae, all chemicals attractive particularly at highest tested concentration (100 mg/ml). outcomes this study establish practical foundation developing attractants open avenues potential advancements aphid management strategies understanding details communication tritrophic level.

Abstract The date palm, scientifically known as Phoenix dactylifera , is an important cultural and economic source of wealth in southern Tunisia. It produces considerable agricultural waste, including palm leaves, the disposal which often a challenge. Our study addresses sustainable conversion leaves into valuable product through kombucha fermentation, focusing on two widely used varieties Tunisia: Deglet Nour Alig. HPLC‐RI analysis showed significant difference fermentation process between treated samples, reflected highest sugar consumption metabolite production Alig palm. Unfermented fermented were sequentially extracted with solvents increasing polarity (ethyl acetate butanol) to evaluate their chemical composition bioactivity. results that significantly increased total phenolic content, amounts ethyl fraction. In terms antioxidant activity, extracts high percentage inhibitory activity (82.76 %) against DPPH radical found Palm Alig, also exhibited most antidiabetic capacity (resulting IC 50 value 20 μg/mL). analyses resulted detection 19 compounds by HPLC‐DAD volatiles GC‐MS, are mainly extracts.
