Abstract
Catches of male clover cutworm moths with Z-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate containing 10.8 to 25.0% Z-11-hexadecen-1-ol decreased linearly as the percentage of alcohol increased. The largest catches were with the acetate containing 10.8% alcohol, and at a concentration of 5 mg/rubber carrier. This bait was effective in the field for at least 4 weeks Catches of moths with the attractant on polyethylene carriers were independent of the attractant concentrations, and were significantly less (P < 0.01) than with the same attractant concentrations on rubber carriers.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
