  abstract = {{O}lfactory cues may influence host plant preferences for oviposition of female moths within a community of stemborers that utilise the same resource. {T}his study aimed to evaluate plant preferences for oviposition of gravid females of noctuid stemborers, {B}usseola fusca and {S}esamia calamistis, and the crambid {C}hilo partellus for uninfested maize plants and plants infested by conspecific or heterospecific larvae. {T}he involvement of volatile organic compounds ({VOC}s) emitted by uninfested and maize plants infested by conspecific or heterospecific larvae on moth orientation was studied in {Y}-tube olfactometer assays and in the field. {A}ll gravid female moths significantly preferred {VOC}s emitted by plants infested by conspecific or heterospecific larvae over those from uninfested plants, and female moths did not systematically prefer {VOC}s emitted by plants infested by conspecifics. {F}ield trials confirmed these results. {C}hemical analysis by coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed that {VOC}s emitted by larvae-infested plants, regardless of the stemborer species, were compositionally richer than those released by uninfested plants but their emission intensity varied with species involved in the infestation. {B}usseola fusca larvae induced a compositionally richer {VOC}s profile than {S}. calamistis and {C}. partellus larvae. {E}ight candidate attractants were associated with larvae-infested plants. {T}hese results open new avenues to develop attractants specific to trap female stemborer moths in the field.},
