2-Tridecanone/glandular trichome-mediated resistance to the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L.) and the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) in a wild tomato, Lycopersicon hirsutum f. glabratum C. H. Mull, PI 134417, adversely affects several species of parasitoids and predators of the tomato fruit-worm, Heliothis zea (Boddie). Rates of parasitism or predation, and parasitoid survival, were lower on PI 134417 foliage than rates on susceptible foliage. Removal of trichomes from PI 134417 foliage greatly reduced or eliminated these effects. F i l t e r paper treated with 2-tridecanone at levels comparable to those in PI 134417 foliage had similar effects. Intermediate effects were found on a hybrid line with intermediate densities of trichomes but no 2-tridecanone, indicating at least a partial role of trichome density.
