Abstract
Field testing of a large number of synthetic compounds and several combinations of them revealed that male moths of the darksided cutworm, Euxoa messoria (Harris), were attracted to combinations of Z-7-hexadecen-1-yl acetate and Z-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate. The most satisfactory attractants were combinations of these two compounds in ratios of 1:20 or 1:40. The presence of small amounts of the corresponding E-isomers did not interfere with the attractant. The diene, Z-7, Z-11-hexadecadien-1-yl acetate, in combination with Z-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate also attracted the males, but there was no advantage in using the diene in place of Z-7-hexadecen-1-yl acetate.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
