摘要：In Southern Europe Lobesia botrana, commonly
known as the grape berry moth, is a major pest of grapes.
Traditionally the control of this pest is made using insecticides,
however there is an increasing public concern about the negative
side effects of these products. Also in Europe there has been an
increase of the regulation for the use of pesticides. Therefore
new, and alternative, less harmful pest control strategies are
needed. One of these strategies is mating disruption (MD).
This is an innovative and sustainable technique based on
the saturation of the air with large quantities of pheromones
produced by the female moths, interfering with the pheromone
communication and therefore reduce the number of offspring.
However in the Douro region, in Portugal, this technique has
not always yield the best results because of factors such as
the fragmented landscape and the fact that most vineyards are
small and surrounded by other vegetation that can also house
the grape moth. Therefore a project to study the impact of the
Douro landscape in the distribution of the pheromone cloud
is undergoing, to improve the use of this technique in Douro.
To assess the distribution of the cloud and which surrounding
vegetation is more attractive to the moth traditional techniques
such as the use of traps can be used. However more sophisticated
techniques, such as Electroantennography (EAG), can be
employed. In this paper it is presented the development of the
acquisition system for an EAG device, in the framework of the above mentioned project.
