Today, we are faced with an increase in the impact of pesticides on the environment, which is becoming a real concern for most agricultural production systems, including vineyards, for a number of reasons, such as the resistance of pest populations to pesticides, the lethal and sublethal effects of pesticides on non-target species, the increase in new invasive pests, the extension of the geographical range of pests due to climate change, and, finally, human health problems. Against this backdrop, the adoption of solutions based on the reproductive behavioral ecology of pests is a subject of prominent (major) interest for the coming decades. Crop pests and, more specifically, disease vectors use sensory cues throughout their life cycle for many fundamental behaviors and in particular for mating, the critical step in population growth. In particular, a large proportion of arthropod crop pests rely on chemical and/or vibroacoustic communication to mate. Several thousand sex pheromones have been identified in insects, most of which can be used either as synthetic baits to trap pests or as behavioral modifiers (e.g., pheromone-mediated mating disruption). Applied biotremology is also emerging as a new discipline for sustainable pest control. Field experiments on vibratotional mating disruption against grapevine leafhoppers are currently ongoing, with promising results. Here we present mating disruption strategies that can be implemented in crop protection, in particular against the main pests and vectors present/occurring in grape production.

今天，我们面临着农药对环境影响日益加大的问题，这正成为包括葡萄园在内的大多数农业生产系统真正关注的问题，原因有很多，例如害虫种群对农药的抗药性、致命性农药对非目标物种的亚致死效应、新的入侵性害虫的增加、气候变化导致害虫地理范围的扩大，以及最后的人类健康问题。在此背景下，采用基于害虫繁殖行为生态学的解决方案是未来几十年备受关注的主题。农作物害虫，更具体地说，病媒在其整个生命周期中利用感官线索来进行许多基本行为，特别是交配，这是种群增长的关键步骤。特别是，很大一部分节肢动物作物害虫依赖化学和/或振动声学通信来交配。昆虫中已鉴定出数千种性信息素，其中大多数可用作诱捕害虫的合成诱饵或行为调节剂（例如信息素介导的交配破坏）。应用生物震颤学也正在成为可持续害虫防治的一门新学科。目前正在进行针对葡萄叶蝉的振动交配干扰的田间实验，并取得了可喜的结果。在这里，我们提出了可在作物保护中实施的交配干扰策略，特别是针对葡萄生产中存在/发生的主要害虫和媒介。
