We discovered that extracts of the female sex pheromone gland of the carpenterworm moth Isoceras sibirica Alpheraky, a pest of Asparagus offi cinalis Linn., contained (Z)-7- tetra decen-1-ol (Z7 - 14:OH), (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-ol (Z9 - 14:OH), (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate (Z7 - 14:Ac), (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z9 - 14:Ac), and (Z)-9-hexadecadecenyl acetate (Z9 - 16:Ac). The average levels of the chemicals in a single sex pheromone gland of a calling moth were (0.71 ± 0.24) ng, (1.42 ± 0.44) ng, (4.36 ± 0.32) ng, (8.71 ± 0.26) ng, and (0.82 ± 0.38) ng, respectively. The electroantennography (EAG) analysis of these chemicals and their analogues demonstrated that Z9 - 14:Ac triggered signifi cantly the male EAG response. Traps with rubber septa lure impregnated with Z9 - 14:Ac (500 μg/septum), Z7 - 14:Ac (250 μg/septum), and Z9 - 16:Ac (50 μg/septum) were more effective in catching male moths than traps with other baits or virgin females. Addition of Z7 - 14:OH and Z9 - 14:OH to rubber septa did not enhance the effi ciency of the trap.

(Z)-5-dodecen-1-ol (Z5 - 12:OH), (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate (Z5 - 12:Ac), and (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate (Z5 - 14:Ac) were found in the extracts of the female sex pheromone gland of the carpenterworm moth Holcocerus artemisiae Chou et Hua, a pest of Artemisia filifolia. The average amounts of Z5 - 12:OH, Z5 - 12:Ac, and Z5 - 14:Ac in a single sex pheromone gland of a calling moth were (7.14 ± 0.73) ng, (54.20 ± 0.34) ng, and (38.70 ± 0.46) ng, respectively. Electroantennography (EAG) of these compounds and their analogues demonstrated that Z5 - 12:Ac excitated the largest male EAG response, followed by Z5 - 14:Ac. Traps baited with rubber septa impregnated with Z5 - 12:Ac (500 μg/septum) and Z5 - 14:Ac (300 μg/septum) were more effective than traps with other baits or virgin females. Addition of Z5 - 12:OH to rubber septa did not enhance the trap catches, but (E,Z)-3,5-dodecadienyl acetate (E3,Z5 - 12:Ac) enhanced the trap catch.

AbstractThe four components of the synthesised sex pheromone of Diparopsis castanea Hmps. are dodecan-1-yl acetate (I); trans-9-dodecen-1-yl acetate (IIA); 11-dodecen-l-yl acetate (IIB); and trans-9,ll-dodecadien-l-yl acetate (IV). Increasing the proportion of IIA in a I/IIA/IIB/IV mixture progressively decreased male excitation in a laboratory bioassay, whilst in the absence of I all concentrations of IIA tested were equally inhibitory. The synthetic combination of 80% IV (93% trans: 7% cis) and 20% IIB (=dicastalure), was 485 times more potent in eliciting male activity than a female sex pheromone gland extract. Reduction in male response to crude extract occurred through exposure of males to glandular IIA and through reduced pheromone volatility caused by extracted triglycerides. Maximum quantities of pheromone were detected in the female sex pheromone gland 6–12 h into scotophase and for at least 30 min into photophase. Significantly greater bioassay responses were elicited by the optimal field combination of 80% IV and 20% IIB than for other ratios tested. Excitation and clasper extension were observed in response to the non-attractive IIB moiety and this indicates a role in close-range mating behaviour for this component. The threshold level of male response was estimated to occur in response to sex pheromone at an aerial concentration of 9·2 molecules IV mm3/s−1. This suggests that aerial concentrations of 102–103 times the male threshold response level may be sufficient to cause successful communication disruption in the field. The problems of relating the non-oriented responses in an assay of this type to directional responses in traps are briefly discussed.
