Abstract
Cis-9,trans-12-tetradecadien-1-ol acetate (hereafter referred to as Cis-9,tratus-l2-tda) was identified as the sex pheromone of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Kuwahara et al. 1971, Brady et al. 1971), and a component of the sex pheromone of the southern armyworm, Spodoptera eridania (Cramer) (Jacobson et al. 1970). Moreover, Brady and Ganyard (1972) isolated Cis-9,trans-12-tda from females of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner). The Indian meal moth is in the superfamily Pyraloidea, and the southern and beet armyworms belong to Noctuoidea. In view of this apparent wide range of attractancy demonstrated by Cis-9,trans-12-tda, a study was conducted at Hastings, Fla., during spring and early summer of 1972 to determine whether this compound possibly might be attractive to still other insect species. The present paper reports the results of studies made to determine the attractiveness of Cis-9,trans-12-tda to males of the armyworm Spodoptera dolichos (F.), and its effect on the response of male soybean loopers, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), to synthesized Cis-7-dodecenl-ol acetate (hereafter referred to as cis-7-dda), the sex pheromone produced by the female soybean looper (Tumlinson et al. 1972).
