Abstract
Attraction of Popillia japonica Newman to 15 substituted phenethyl acetates and 20 related acetates, each in combination with eugenol as 7:3 mixtures, was compared with attraction to the standard lure, phenethyl propionate + eugenol (7:3). The most active lure, o -nitro-phenethyl acetate + eugenol, was 60% as active as the standard. However, when 4 chemicals found in apple essences and 7 homologues of 2 of these chemicals were added to the standard lure, 1 additive, heptyl 2-melhyl-butyrate, increased activity 30%.
