Abstract

Several compounds were tested for disruption of sex pheromone communication in Amyelois transitella (Walker). Catches of males in female-baited traps were significantly reduced by in-trap treatments with ( Z )-9- and ( Z )-11-tetradecen-1-ol formate and isomers of 9, 11-tetradecadien-1-ol formate. Disruption by air permeation with ( Z, Z )-9,11, tetradecadien-1-ol formate was better with a plastic laminate formulation than hollow fibers or polyvinyl-chloride rods but was still inferior to treatments with the navel orangeworm pheromone ( Z, Z )-11, 13-hexadecadienal.
