Since the 80s, the popular park- and city tree Aesculus hippocastanum has been infested with the leaf miner Cameraria ohridella (DESCHKA & DIMIC 1986). Additionally, the pathogenic fungi Guignardia aesculi causes leaf blotch disease and Erysiphe flexuosa causes powdery mildew on horse chestnuts. Often, all three diseases occur in parallel at the same leaves leading to a situation of competition. Moreover, recently some endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaf tissue of A. hippocastanum. In the present study, the volatile interaction between three trophic levels plant, insect, and fungi are discussed.
