  abstract = {{W}ind tunnel and {Y}-tube olfactometer studies are useful for demonstrating the responsiveness of male moths to sex pheromones. {H}owever, in the cereal stem borer, {B}usseola fusca ({F}uller) ({L}epidoptera: {N}octuidae), wind tunnel bioassays yielded poor results when the behavioural responses of females to plant odours were tested. {W}e demonstrated that for {B}.fusca females, the {Y}-tube olfactometer was better suited for measuring the attractiveness of plant odours, compared with the wind tunnel. {I}n particular, we showed {B}.fusca preference for odours of a host over a non-host plant species using this apparatus. {B}ehavioural responses for {B}.fusca after host finding are also discussed.},
