Abstract
Adult European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner), males responded preferentially to traps baited with a blend of 3% Z- and 97% E-11-tetradecenyl acetate in the South Carolina coastal plain. In the Piedmont area of the state, this response was reversed in favor of a 97Z:3E isomeric blend. Pheromone traps caught fewer ECB moths than blacklight traps and catch initiation usually lagged several days behind that of the blacklight traps. Commercial pheromone lures attracted ECB males, but sticky wing traps were relatively inefficient. The Albany Heliothis Scentry cone trap captured significantly more moths than did a modified Heliothis cone trap, a modified boll weevil trap, the International S.P.I. moth trap, or the Pherocon 1C wing trap.
