Reinvestigation of sex pheromone components and attractiveness of synthetic sex pheromone of the pink borer, Sesamia inferens Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Okinawa

Z-7-Dodecenyl acetate and Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol have been identified as sex pheromone components o f female Autographa gamma. This is the first time that Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol has been found in the natural pheromone of Plusiinae. When incorporated in pherom one traps of some Plusiinae species the alcohol is both synergist and inhibitor, thus being an important factor in sex isolation among sympatric Plusiinae species in Israel

Synthetic Blend

AbstractThe sex pheromone components of the black army cutworm, Actebia fennica (Tauscher), were identified in abdomen-tip extracts from calling female moths. The primary pheromone component was (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate. Although (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate was detectable only in trace quantities in the extracts, it was the major component in the best synthetic blend for attraction of male moths. The most effective synthetic blend was (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate at a ratio of 1:20. No other component detected in the extracts increased trap capture of males when added to the two-component blend; however, (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate, (Z)-7-dodecenol, and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate reduced catches. This two-component blend will be useful for studying the habits of the adults and for population monitoring.
