Abstract

Trapping experiments were conducted in Massachusetts to compare the attractiveness of the enantiomers of disparlure ( cis -7,8-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane), the sex attractant pheromone of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.). The (+) enantiomer of disparlure showed much greater activity than the (−) enantiomer or an equivalent amount of racemic disparlure.
