Abstract: Herbivor-induced plant volatiles(HIVs) from plants damaged by pest can communication smong plants and can protect plants. They can manipulate relationships among plants, herbivores and their natural enemies, and it was very important for Herbivor-induced plant volatiles to manipulate insect behavior. In recent years, Herbivor-induced plant volatiles have attracted attention of people. In the paper, the releasing mechanism and the application of Herbivor-induced plant volatiles were reviewed. It was helpful to exploit and use Herbivor-induced plant volatiles for protecting plants and to carry out the new strategy of protecting plants.
