    FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to the use of a composition for attracting predatory insects or parasitoid insects from plant-destroying insects and inducing the oviposition of said predators or parasitoids. The invention also relates to the use of a composition to prevent the appearance of plant pests or to control these pests. The invention also relates to a method for preventing and / or controlling insect pests of plants, in particular against aphids (aphids).
    State of the art
    Phytophagous insects cause economically important damage in field crops and greatly reduce crop yields if eradication is not ensured. Among these pests, aphids (eg Acyrthosiphon pisum, Myzus persicae, Aphis fabae, ...), by their rapid development and their ability to spread, constitute a real scourge in agriculture. Indeed, by causing both direct and indirect damage, they cause irreversible deformities in plants and cause several viral diseases (CAB International (1996).) Crop Protection Compendium - Global module, 2nd Edition ). Other pests, such as mealybugs (eg Planococcus citri), whiteflies (eg Trialeurodes vaporariorum, Bemisia tabacf) or psyllids (eg Psylla pyri) also cause significant damage in field crops.
    The use of chemical control (pesticides, insecticides, etc.), still widespread, is gradually leading to the selection of resistant individuals whose eradication is becoming increasingly difficult. In addition, residues of these chemical compounds are found in the environment, affect biodiversity, contaminate our food and have a negative impact on human health.
    Many methods of pest control, including aphids, have already been described and commonly rely on insecticidal molecules (CN1068473; JP6192014). However, other alternative control methods have also been described and are based on (1) the use of attractive traps associated with at least one insecticidal substance (US4369176; WO8501638; US5928634), (2) the use of diffusers containing repellent substances (US5792467), (3) the use of pathogenic microorganisms for the pest (s) targeted (KR20040006457; CN1068473; WO2008025108; WO9101802), (4) the use of natural enemies (auxiliaries or (US6562332; US6544513; GB2305843; US20050178337; US4418647; EP1161863); and (5) the use of semiochemicals (volatile organic molecules affecting the behavior of certain insects) generally associated with a trapping system or an insecticidal substance (US2005249769 US6890525; US4849216; US62244890; US6267953; US6074634). Other techniques still propose to organize crops in such a way as to promote the presence of natural enemies (DE4115493).
    Among the various natural enemies of aphids, Ladybugs (Adalia bipunctata, Harmonia axyridis, ...) are the most frequently used auxiliary insects (CN1528136, US6562332, US6890525) but lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea, Chrysoperla lucasina, ...) (US6562332) and parasitoid insects (Aphidius ervi, Aphidius colemani, ...) (US6890525) are also mentioned. The use of these auxiliaries is based mainly on their placement in the field (larvae, mummies, pupae, ...) or on flood releases (adults).
    Several disadvantages are related to the use of auxiliaries according to these methods, for example the release of adults does not guarantee that they will act in situ; indeed, most of them are mobile and able to leave the targeted area.
    The present invention therefore aims to remedy at least one of the disadvantages mentioned above.
    Brief summary of the invention
    The present invention relates to the use of a composition comprising 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal, in order to attract and maintain auxiliaries in target areas of a simple, reproducible and inexpensive way, while inducing the oviposition, predation and parasitism behaviors of these same auxiliaries whose larvae feed on insect pests of plants. The inventors have shown that 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal are characterized in that they act alone or together as attractants and as spawning inducers (oviposition).
    In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a composition comprising 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal, for attracting predatory insects or insect parasitoid insects. plant pests and induce the oviposition of said predators or parasitoids.
    The present invention also relates to a method for attracting insect predators of plant pests or insect parasitoids of plant pests and inducing the oviposition of said predators or parasitoids, comprising the use of a composition comprising 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal.
    According to a particular embodiment, the invention also relates to the use of a composition comprising 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal, to prevent the appearance of insect pests of plants or to control these pests.
    The present invention also relates to a method for preventing or controlling insect pests of plants comprising the application in the vicinity of or directly on the plant to be protected or treated or a part thereof of a composition comprising the 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal, to prevent the appearance of plant pests or to control these pests.
    The invention also covers the use of the bacterium Staphylococcus sciuri to produce, biologically, 3-methyl-2 * butenal.
    The present invention therefore relates both to an attractant and to an oviposition inducer (oviposition) for the purpose of enhancing the efficacy of biological control while solving the technical problems associated with methods of controlling plant pests and of crops by means of auxiliaries. Indeed, several disadvantages are related to the use of auxiliaries according to current methods: the deposition of auxiliary larvae on the plant is binding and requires time; the release of auxiliary adults does not guarantee that they will act in situ (most of them are mobile and able to leave the targeted area); the deposit of mummies or pupae gives rise to auxiliary adults who can also leave the targeted area.
    By resorting to the use of said composition, the object of the present invention is thus to overcome these disadvantages by making it possible to attract, maintain and induce strongly and artificially (in the absence of pests) the oviposition of the auxiliaries. whether under glass, in field crops or in any other environment infested or likely to be infested by pests (including aphids).
    Other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the following description and examples which illustrate it given merely by way of illustration and which in no way limit the scope of the invention. .

    Production in flasks: After 48 hours of incubation, the purity of the precultures is checked under optical microscope and on agar medium 868 to detect any contamination. These precultures are used for the inoculation of medium 863 (previously sterilized for 20 minutes at 120 ° C.) in 500 ml flasks. The volume of precultures represents 20 to 30% of the useful volume of the vials.
    Fermenter production: After 48h of incubation, the purity of the precultures is checked under an optical microscope and on agar medium 868 to detect any contamination. These precultures are used for the inoculation of medium 863 (previously sterilized for 20 minutes at 120 ° C.) in a fermenter. The volume of precultures represents 5 to 10% of the useful volume of the fermenter.
    The usual conditions for a fermentation of the bacterium Staphylococcus sciuri are: Temperature: 25 ° C., pH: 7 regulated using 5N HCl and 5N NaOH, stirring speed: 400 rpm, and flow rate. air: 3 wm.
    Vial culture time: The vial culture lasts about 4 to 5 days to obtain a cell concentration between 108 and 5.10® CFU / ml. The culture is then diluted to have adequate cell concentration with distilled water containing 9 g / l NaCl to obtain a concentration of 105 to 10 CFU / ml.

This cell concentration is obtained at a DOgoonm between 1 and 2. The usual value is D06oonm = 1-6.
    The bacterium has been identified as producing, inter alia, 3-methyl-2-butenal. This compound was identified from the culture medium inoculated with the bacterium Staphylococcus sciuri by the technique of Solid-Phase Micro-Extraction (SPME) and GC-MS analyzes (Table 6). The removal of the volatile compounds by SPME was carried out using Carboxen-PDMS fibers (85 μM carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane, Stableflex) (Supelco, State College, PA) starting from 20 to 50 μL of the culture medium inoculated with the bacterium. Staphylococcus sciuri since 24h. Samples were taken at 20 ± 1 ° C for 24 hours in an incubator (Jouan Maxi Artic). After each sample, the SPME fiber was analyzed by gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

The oven temperature program was as follows: 40 ° C for 7 min; increase of 4 ° C / min at 250 ° C for 5 min; increase of 7 ° C / min at 280 ° C for 1 min. The other operating conditions are as follows: carrier gas, He, with a constant flow rate of 1 ml / min; Injector temperature, 260 ° C; splitless mode. The volatile compounds were identified by comparing their mass spectra with those stored in the Wiley275.L library.
    Quantification of the compound of interest, 3-methyl-2-butenal, produced by the bacterium in the solution, was performed by the "spiking" method (metered addition). To do this, an accurate amount of 3-methyl-2-butenal (at a concentration of 1 μg / ml) was added to the culture medium containing the bacterium. SPME analysis of this solution with added dose was compared to SPME analysis of the culture medium with bacteria without addition of the synthetic compound. The difference in peak area between the two GC analyzes corresponds to the amount of compounds produced by the bacteria in the solution. The concentration in the culture medium obtained for 3-methyl-2-butenal is mentioned in Table 6. The set of volatile compounds corresponds to 0.01% by weight of the solution.

    Example 10: Efficacy of the formulations for the biological control against aphids
    In the field, five plots (1m2) with bean plants (Vicia faba) were put in place and infested with 500 aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum). These plants were treated with 10 ml / m 2 of the following formulations: (1) aqueous solution of 3-methyl-2-butenal at 100 μg / ml; (2) aqueous solution of 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid at 5 μg / ml, 20 μg / ml, 500 μg / ml and 2 mg / ml; (3) mixture of 200 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenal + 20 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid, mixture of 200 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenal + 50 μg ml of 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid, mixture of 500 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenal + 500 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid; (4) formulation based on the bacterium Staphylococcus sciuri containing 1.2 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenal (see Example 6) (bacteria cultured in the liquid medium 863 = 10 g / L glucose + 10 g / L of yeast extract + 10g / L of casein peptone); (5) formulation based on the bacterium Staphylococcus sciuri containing 1.2 μg / ml of 3-methyl-2-butenal (see Example 6) filtered before application (in order to eliminate the microorganism). Untreated identical plots formed the negative controls.
    These trials showed that average populations of 500 aphids (initially) are eliminated after 7 to 8 days following spraying of the plants with the different formulations. On average, following the spraying of each of these formulations, 45 ± 5.0 predator eggs (Episyrphus balteatus or Chrysopa carnea or Adalia bipunctata) were observed on the bean plants. In contrast, a lower average of 18 ± 7.0 eggs was observed on plants infested with 500 aphids alone and not sprayed with the formulations, which led to the elimination of aphids only after more than 10 days. Treatment with the compositions comprising 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid and / or 3-methyl-2-butenal accelerates the control of aphids and reduces the infection time from 20 to 40%.
